Group 4 has finished their creative challenge and we are excited to present to you their final photos of the character created. The theme for their challenge was to create an owl in clay, with magical abilities that lives in the deep dark forests of Helsinglight. When we have presented the final work by every creative challenger/contestant in group 4 we will announce the winner of the group that will advance and compete in the finals later on. This is the final result by Carla Owen, creative challenger, group 4.
I have had so much fun working on this challenge and it’s really forced me to make work to a theme that I would never have considered! I absolutely love the little gentleman that I have created and all it has done is spark new ideas in my head for future projects. It’s slowly become apparent to me that I work better when I have a little healthy competition to push me out of my comfort zone. It has been amazing to see the different takes on the challenge theme and I can’t wait to see them all in their completed glory!
This is Owlfred, the very Gentlemanly Owl. In the Highlands Scotland he was raised but has since traveled the world on a quest for new discoveries. In his later years he returned to his native Scotland to seek his fortune in the lichen gin brewing trade.
By creating his outstanding green liquor he was able to buy a modest house where he could cultivate his vast collection of artifacts from all over the world. Gold coins found beneath the great pyramids of Egypt, the skeleton of his extinct ancestor the terrifying Owlodont, as well as his large collection of tombs and scrolls.
His collection of books has grown so much over the years he has turned it into somewhat of library where scholars come from all over to research the various topics that Owlfred has found interest in over his lifetime. In his newly found spare time Owlfred enjoys the irony of bird watching as well as sessions of wine tasting with his old Chums. But nothing can beat the feeling of sitting in his study on a windswept Sunday morning in Scotland, a fire cracking in the corner and his favourite batch of Lichen gin being served to him on a silver platter by his latest butler. He has had many rodent servants over the years but a lot of the time he just cannot resist the temptation of a quick snack after he’s been served his drink...
