This paper automata entitled “Nervous Owl” from the folks at cool4cats shows an owl with its head turning around and back again trying to keep its eye on a motorcycle-riding mouse down below its tree. The whole mechanism is controlled by a crank below the piece that the user can use to set the animation going.

Ready For The House made these awesome owl carvings in a friend’s tree in the Silverlake neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA. I think it’s a great way to decorate the raw cut area that is left when you have to trim large branches from a tree.

Dowloadable Owl Masks

By Goli Mohammadi

I'm a word nerd who loves to geek out on how emerging technology affects the lexicon. I was an editor on the first 40 volumes of MAKE, and I love shining light on the incredible makers in our community. In particular, covering art is my passion — after all, art is the first thing most of us ever made. When not fawning over perfect word choices, I can be found on the nearest mountain, looking for untouched powder fields and ideal alpine lakes.

Love owls? Artist Joseph Paul Johnston is offering free downloadable Screech Owl and Barn Owl masks on his blog. Simply download, print onto cardstock, cut out, attach elastic, and wear. Johnston originally designed these in Illustrator for a “dress up like a bird” themed party, but they’re great for a last-minute costume idea.
