Owls have long held a place in art, mythology and storytelling — appearing across centuries as quiet emblems of wisdom, intuition and transformation.
I’ve been returning to owls again and again in my work, exploring how textiles can bring new layers of meaning, character and story to these familiar creatures.
The Intuition Owl headdress is printed in charcoal grey on gold lame, appliquéd with vintage sari trims either in; sun-bleached orange with gold motifs and large sequin embellishments, or brown, amber and gold embroidered motif.
All lined with floral block print cotton and adorned with pheasant feathers. Finished with brown satin ribbons.
Designed to be worn, moved in and displayed - they sit between adornment and art.
Each headdress begins with an original illustration by Sara Lowes, screen-printed and handmade using a rich combination of surplus theatre fabrics, vintage sari silks and trims, and Indian block-printed cottons and silks.
Handmade in Cornwall by textile artist Sara Lowes.
Due to the handmade nature of each piece, slight variations may occur, making every headdress unique.
One size, suitable for both children and adults.
The headdress ties around the head with satin ribbons, allowing it to be adjusted for a comfortable fit.
Measurements: 13 × 12cm
Feather length: 8–10cm
Ribbon length: 50cm
