The Horned Owl Sign Tutorial
🕑 Added 2020-08-04 17:00:04 +0000 UTCSo I thought I'd do a little "tutorial" of how I made the horned owl sign. I wanted to reuse the sign I used in my Kiki video for something since it was sitting around! So I drew up this sign concept of an owl logo. I used aluminum foil to create the shapes of the horns and the nose. Also a bit of jewelry wire was used to stabilize the horns on the sign.
Next I used sculpey to flesh it out and add details.
Long rolls of sculpey was used to create the lettering. This was by far the toughest and most frustrating part! Then I positioned everything and glued it down with hot glue. I used a hair dryer to make some parts bendy enough to position. I had a couple of breaks which were fixed pretty easily with super glue!
After that I made a bunch of little feathers to glue down and cover up my wire.
Phew! Tough part over, now to paint! I first primed with several layers of Plasti Dip.
I had a vague idea of what colors I wanted. Though I ended up changing the colors. I started more yellow and black, and ended more brown and orange. I also changed the eye style to something a little more vintage and classic. :) I used acrylic paints and used metallic paints to add shininess to the feathers and eyes.
And finally.....

Very cool! I love seeing how something this eye-catching was put together, great work on the color choices and especially all the sculpted feathers and words, I bet that took some time.

I was worried for a minute there that real owls were harmed during the production of this movie

I was wondering if you also made all the labels (mead, shampoo, etc.) since they match the sign.

Урок по созданию рогатой совы, вдохновляет на творческую работу) Будет здорово, если Вы сделаете видео, в котором мастерите что-то подобное
