Metalpoint Great Horned Owl
This owl settled into a tree and I took four quick, blurry pictures just to prove it happened. Metalpoint seemed to be a good medium for a mysterious, moody drawing.

Finished: Erica Wilson Crewel Embroidery Owl Family
It took a month and who knows how many hours, but I finished this 1978 owl family embroidery designed by Erica Wilson. It’s huge, 24”x20”. I persevered with this highly repetitive project, but I doubt it’ll be hung anywhere. It’s cute and quirky, but did I mention it’s huge?
I love crewel embroidery, and I’m going to be brave and start my own design.

Erica Wilson Owl Embroidery
Little by little, I’m stitching away at this 1978 Erica Wilson crewel embroidery kit. I thought the tree would never end, crisscrossing and outlining forever. But it was worth it to get to the owl.
It’s super groovy. Just wait until all the turkey work goes in. It’ll be a shag carpeting owl fest.
