Owl And Pussycat's Adventure by KimbasCritters

~♥~ Mr. Owl and his good friend Pussycat were feeling rather bored. When Pussycat suggested an evening boat ride they both thought it was an outstanding idea and hopped in their little wooden boat looking forward to a nights worth of adventure. ~♥~ This is a mixed media collage on a 9X7 inch light wooden board. A hanger is attached to the back so it is ready to be displayed in a room of your choice--the artwork continues on to the sides of the board so there is no need for framing. It has been lightly varnished for protection and shine.

Kimbas Critters donates 10% of all sales to BLIND CAT RESCUE & SANCTUARY, INC. please take a look at this wonderful charities page http://www.blindcatrescue.com/.

BarkingDogBlanket Medium HelloKitty BabyDragons Recycled fabrics by Barkingdogblanket's Shop

Hello Kitty flying through the air on her favorite unicorn surrounded by puffy white clouds. This blanket is made with reclaimed fabrics never used but picked up at garage sales. I loved the whimsical nature of both the baby dragon, Hello Kitty and unicorns. About me, member of EFA and AOE and huge supporter of animal rescue groups. I volunteer at our local Hawaiian Humane Society & OahuaSpca - Dog Walker, kennel cleaner and recently fostered a 7 year old Australian Cattle dog 'Mana'. Had lost my sweet Rockie girl (and inspiration for my blankets) in October but not ready to get another pup yet. Got the call for emergency foster homes needed for one week, went to pick up my foster dog and who do I see but Mana - a Cattle Dog like Rockie, a female and 7 years old. Fostering lasted 2 days and we adopted her on the third day. Didn't think I was ready but she is healing my heart with each day.

Teal Skies Silver Ring by Littlestudiojewels' Shop

This is sweet, yet sort of Steam Punk all at the same time. It's great for the office, or a sexy night out! I used sterling silver wire to make a comfortable shank, adding a teal Swarovski crystal to the center. I then coiled more sterling silver wire around the base wire and added 2 clear Swarovski crystals to the outside of the teal bead, coiling the remainder of the wire on the sides. The result is a coiled ring that is pretty, yet different. You could keep it shiny, or allow it to patina and darken naturally, giving it a worn look for a more "Steam Punk" style.

This is about a size 6-1/2, but I can make it in another size if you need it. I can even make it with different beads, or in copper or 14karat gold-filled wire, convo me before purchasing for details.

When (Guinea) Pigs Fly Set of Five Cards by Scrappyrat's Shop

When I saw the theme, Look to the Skies, I couldn't resist making some guinea pigs flutter up! Little pink wings take these guinea pigs on a flutter around the yard! The guinea pigs have been stamped, then I watercolored them by hand. Can't you just imagine the sound of their "Wheek Wheek" calls as they zoom through the air? In my etsy shop I have many items designated as charity benefit items with all the money I make from those particular items going directly to the EFA Charity of the Month. I am practically always working on items for rescues and other animal charities who contact me and ask that I make things for their auctions or other fund raisers. (I'm attaching a pic on one I just finished the other day for Second Chance Pet Adoptions.) It's something I really enjoy doing for these groups that request my items. I am also a foster volunteer for Carolina Pet Rescue (http://www.cpr-nc.org). I foster rodents and other small animals. Attached is a photo of Carrot, my most recent "graduate" who was adopted a few days ago. I think she's one of the cutest hamsters I've ever seen, and that's saying a lot because all hamsters are pretty darn cute to begin with.

8x10 Photograph puffy white clouds purple flowers by the water by Aktie9's shop

This is my fav photo of the sky since it is so soft looking, and intriguingly warm. It's what I consider "relaxing art" something that makes you comfortable and relaxed. I often look at photos to calm myself when I'm stressed & it really works well, especially of the skies or nature. I have lots of other photos of the sky, as it's one of my fav subjects to shoot. My husband rolls his eyes whenever the sun sets, as he knows I'll he beaded out the door, looking for the next beautiful view to capture. I want to get as many of them as possible. I think of making a book or zine of them soon, sometime. I wanna show the people more of the natural world, so they will care for it better. It's my life goal. Get folks to change their minds and take better care of the earth.

Itty Bitty Pelican - Hand Knit Organic Cotton Limited Edition Toy to Help the Gulf Coast by Yarnmiracle's shop

He's a bird, so it seems like he fits the "Look to the Skies" theme perfectly - what with all the powerful flying and diving and scooping up fish. This particular pelican won't fly as high as his wild cousins, but if you toss him up in the air, he will do his best to *imagine* soaring through the sky.

Since it's very beginning, my shop has been a way for me to support the rescue and adoption efforts of our local Humane Society. For each of my hand knit Companion Animals or Itty Bitty Playsets that sells, I donate $5 directly to Baldwin Animal Rescue. We also foster animals through that organization and help with adoption events as we are able. That happens less now that I have a toddler with a naptime smack in the middle of most adoptions, but I can at least still offer financial support!

Handmade Collage Pendant Glass Starlight Dream and Delicious Sensations by Whskr's shops

The woman on this romantic pendant is looking towards the sky. It's a vintage picture from a book and I thought it was a perfect match for the theme. It measures 1 x 2 inches or 2.5 x 5 cms. approx. carefully applied to high quality crystal glass with a bevelled edge. At the moment I am helping a friend d'Artagnan Rumblepurr to raise funds for SPCA and Cats Protection here in New Zealand and sell pendants in my store with 100% to either EFA COTM or a local charity in need. I also promote charities in need on Twitter and help out sharing on Facebook.

Handmade Knit Wrap - Straw and Sky by susanneedlehands' shop

"Look to the Skies" the hints of gold are like a majestic eagle and the blue and white are like a beautiful, wide expanse of sky with little puffy clouds in it. The criss-cross design also makes me think of a bird's wings, emanating out from its body, so powerful and graceful, as it flies through the sky.
I am actually a full-time middle school teacher, so I mostly work with 11- and 12-year old human animals! I do have 2 rescue kitties, one of which was featured by Michele last month or so (Noah). I also would LOVE to be able to donate all proceeds from any items sold on Etsy to the team charity of the month to be able to help more animals and organizations in need.
