A nice bright owl from the past

One thing that's stopped me from posting regularly is that at the moment I’m up to my ears in various private jobs and commissions. This means that although I’m still designing and digitising madly, I can’t really post the work here, or not at the moment anyway. So I’m going back in the files to find some old designs that haven’t yet seen the light of day here on the blog

This one is so old that I have no memory of when I did it, or what inspired it, although it was probably during one of my folk art phases. It was done for my friend Cherri, who stitched it out. As you can see, it’s a pocket design, showing the owl perched on the edge of a pocket. I love this sort of thing and have a lot of pocket designs sketched out in the files, so all I need now is time to digitise them! So I expect that you’ll see a lot more of them in the months to come

Bur meanwhile, this is a nice colourful example of the sort of thing that can be done

Hi Mia, Your owl is so cute as a pocket topper. I really like the neat way that you split the owl. Sounds like you are super busy with private jobs and commissions. Have a great week!

He looks really trendy, lots of bright colors are popular again. I don't have pockets he would like but I will enjoy him as a single embroidery on a shirt. Owls are still popular. I love the look of yours, so bright and cheery.

Thanks for taking the time to look for him.

This is so cool! I love your birds and flowers and this has both.
Such a happy owl. Can’t wait to see more!

Love it! The colors, the flowers in the body, the big eyes, the perch on the pocket… I think it’s fantastic. :-) Hope all goes well with your private jobs and commissions.

This guy is so retro and I love the "pocket sitter" design. A winner for sure!
