The Keeper Owl - One of a Kind Embroidered Textile Shrine

The Keeper Owl is a Shrine for Devotion. She honours the season of fullness and the women who become the steady centre of family life; the listeners, organisers, protectors and encouragers whose devotion quietly supports the dreams of others. Part artwork, part keepsake and part companion, this one-of-a-kind textile shrine opens to reveal a hidden sanctuary containing a richly embroidered sunflower nestled within a soft felt-lined chamber. Handmade in my Leicestershire garden studio, each Curious Shrine is created slowly using painted and dyed fabric, hand embroidery, decorative stitching, felt, glass gems and mixed media embellishments. No two shrines will ever be exactly alike. The owl symbolises wisdom, intuition and guardianship. The sunflower represents loyalty, abundance and turning towards the light, while the moon and stars speak of reflection, inner knowing and the passing of seasons. Opening the doors is intended as a small act of pause, inviting us to honour the hidden parts of ourselves that continue to nourish and sustain us. Curious Shrines are inspired by folklore, the turning year and the changing seasons of a woman's life. They are intended as small stitched sanctuaries, offering a place for story, reflection and everyday magic. Approximate size: 20-22 cm high, 13-15 cm wide and 3 cm deep. Your shrine will arrive wrapped in tissue paper within a sturdy kraft presentation box and includes a printed story card and artist information card. Price includes tracked UK postage.
