Normally I only post here once a week (otherwise I run out of new things to put up) but I’m so pleased with the newest owl that I couldn’t resist seeing him on the blog. OK, maybe he needs a second foot, but I can always add that later. I am particularly happy with the way the eyes turned out – in fact I might just go back and do the eyes of the first owl in the same way
The second owl. Maybe he needs another foot, but the eyes are effective!
It’s turning out to be very important to use an interesting fabric for the applique on all these owls – otherwise they look a bit bland and boring. So far I’ve used my own hand-painted fabric and the blotchy, irregular effect has worked very well
both owls are marvelous, and could be surprise or knowitall in that gaze… esp enjoy the detailed and asymm tail feathers here!
