That is really adorable. My grandma used to collect owls of all kinds.

Thanks all. It just took me two days to finish. I love the 3D's, nice and quick to stitch up. One of our customers (a particular fav of ours) collects owls and I thought she would appreciate it....There are only so many of my experiments I can keep.

Ah ha! So that's what friends are for? Giving the stitching we can't cram into our own homes!
I'm glad it's getting a nice home with owly friends.

I bet your customer will love it, no doubt she will try to encourage you to try even MORE owlish experiments!

Brilliant! I remember when I saw your lighthouse, I decided to try 3D stitching myself, but haven't had the time yet.
Well done!

What a lovely project -- really gets me inspired to try something 3D (after I've finished that little project stitched on 40ct over one; and an idea for cross-stitch-with-ribbon; and a monochrome Good Friday scene for the church; and... and...)

Thought -- an Owl bell pull -- shouldn't that be a donkey's tail?

I had exactly the same idea when I saw it...

Great minds, eh?
