Owls are everywhere. There is a resurgence in this popular Seventies design. At work there are quite a few fabrics and kits with an owl theme. I have to admit that even though trendiness is not my thing, the owls are a favorite of mine so here is a uniquely painted owl.
This small wooden plaque was a bargain find at the Goodwill and until it was painted in a harvest gold shade the design wasn't in my head. After painting it the first thing that came to mind was this little guy. The pattern also wasn't planned. The paper that was used for the stencil had a pencil sketch of something that I posted a few days ago, the circle design. When outlining the owl, I pressed down to be sure the paper didn't move and transferred a bit of the pattern. The way that the circles ended up was perfect for the eye and it was visually interesting with the asymmetry.
