It was great to watch the @ipswicharttrail auction yesterday. I am delighted that the sale of my owl helped to contribute towards the massive fundraising total for the night of £163,590! 😲 Congratulations to @StElizabethHosp & @wildinart for organising such a great event! 🦉

@AmyBourbon @wildinart @GoGoDiscover22 @massimo_sky Wow, well done @AmyBourbon!

Sculpture milestone… My 9 sculptures auctioned so far have raised over £80,000🎉 for charities! Fingers crossed for the remaining 2022 sculptures…Watch this space! @wildinart @GoGoDiscover22 @massimo_sky

@Gone_BananHares @ipswicharttrail @RocketRoundLeic @wildinart Thanks @Gone_BananHares, I'm glad you've been enjoying the trails! 🚀🦉😊

I’ve just realised why Olivia the Owl seemed familiar yesterday. @aargentcreative decorated a sculpture for the Rocket Round Leicester trail last year. I loved recognising the different buildings on both.

@Gone_BananHares @emmagrahampics @SandRussellArt @paintingtheroom @HelenaKibbler @Donnaedendesign @AmyBourbon @Reilly_Creative @JillBusbyArt @StElizabethHosp @ipswicharttrail @wildinart @sueguthrie11 @illonaClark @tracimoss13 @JinaGelder @LoisCordelia Love this! 👀

W-hoo-se watching you? I think these are all the eyes of the Big Hoots, plus some of the Little Hoots, but to be honest I’m going a bit cross-eyed 🤣 @emmagrahampics @SandRussellArt @paintingtheroom @HelenaKibbler @Donnaedendesign @AmyBourbon @Reilly_Creative @JillBusbyArt

Soon the @ipswicharttrail will be over, but if you want another chance to see the owls, check out thebighoot.co.uk for details of the Farewell Event. The Hoots will be in the Corn Exchange on 10-11th Sep before they are auctioned off to support the work of @StElizabethHosp

@darren_heaps I'm glad you had a lovely time doing the trail! 🦉

Another installment of some photos from the @ipswicharttrail, for @StElizabethHosp. Although my step count was definitely higher than an average day, I didn’t visit all the #sculptures in one session unlike some others who’ve covered the 20+km all in one go!🏃‍♀️#thebighoot2022

Whilst out on the @ipswicharttrail for @StElizabethHosp, I’ve been admiring the creative skills of the other artists, not only when it comes to decorating their #sculptures, but also in their ability to devise some puntastic names for their owls!😂 #thebighoot2022 #ipswichartrail

Although I’ve visited Ipswich before, it was great to see so much of it when visiting for the @ipswicharttrail, which is a fundraising event for @StElizabethHosp. Here are some of the Big Hoot #sculptures I saw on my travels.🦉 #stelizabethhospice #thebighoot2022 #ipswichartrail

@ipswicharttrail @isaacsonthequay Lovely to see photos of trail-goers with Olivia the Owl! 😊

It is lovely to see your own #sculpture in situ, but it’s also great to see what the other artists did with their owls. Here are some of the Big Hoots from the @ipswicharttrail, which is a @StElizabethHosp fundraising event 🦉 #stelizabethhospice #thebighoot2022 #ipswichartrail

Finally it is in situ 😊 All the @ipswicharttrail #sculptures are now dotted around the city, do check out their website to find out more or download the app to get started & support @StElizabethHosp's fundraising event #stelizabethhospice #thebighoot2022 #ipswichartrail🦉🎨

Then came the time to remove Olivia’s casters & package her up ready to be taken away by the @stelizabethhosp team. Though I don’t have long to wait until I can see her again, as the @ipswicharttrail launches on the 19th June #stelizabethhospice #wildinart #bighoot #artrail🦉🎨

Today the @ipswichstar24 exclusively revealed where the Big and Little Hoots will be placed when the art trail launches on Sunday 19 June! There has also been a lot of interest in the Big Hoot app! It has not gone live just yet, but we will let you know as soon as it does.

The depiction of a flock of #birds flying in front of a large sun unobscured by clouds, evokes #memories of #summer days spent outdoors. My sculpture is for this year’s @ipswicharttrail, which is being brought to us by @stelizabethhosp & @wildinart #wildinart #bighoot ☀️🦉🎨🖌️
