barn owl

 There he is
or is it a she ?
There isn't much difference in appearance :
the females are a bit bigger
the males are a bit paler in colour.

It was so much fun to make this bird !
I like owls in general but I haven't "met" them
in real life very often, a real "wild one" I mean.

The painted canvas for it is ready
but I didn't have the time yet to stitch the fabric on.

I'm very happy with how all the tiny bits of my stash
came together nicely.

This one will be coming with me to Amerongen
this Saturday !
