Owl Earrings Sacred Medicine - Black, White and Brown

Description: 1.50 inch diameter brown circle with the Owl in the center. Made of hand cut hardened acrylic with surgical steel ear wires. These earrings are large, but extremely light weight.

Inspiration:
The sacred owl is a very powerful bird. It’s abilities are far reaching and very diverse. Many Native Americans tribes are wary of the owl, but for me the owl was always a helper and friend. Guiding and protecting me through events that could have been tragic.

Recently, the owl has been very active in my life and I wanted to wear a symbol or image of it. As I searched for earrings and necklaces, all I found were cute or comic images trivializing the power and sacredness of the owl, so I create my own. I hope you can feel the power of the owl in the image I created.

The artist Paula Bidwell is Native American and married to an Irishman from Dublin, Ireland. In their many years together they discovered their cultures and traditions are very similar. Paula feels it is important to be able to create jewelry which is significant in it’s meaning whether Irish or Native American and to bring to the future the ancient customs and cultures of both of their people. She also believes strongly that we are all related and there is very little separation between us. Her art resonates with all cultures and peoples.
