At midnight, under a silvery moon, Merlin opens his starry eyes and starts to speak. Our newest owl has a flat seamed bottom and wire feet that help him perch on any flat surface.
Model was stitched on 32 CT Weeks Tin Roof Linen and we are recommending Zweigart Belfast Platinum. Threads used are a combination of DMC and Weeks overdyed floss, plus accents of silver Metallic #4 braid. His sequin eyes are purple and silver with black beads in the center. On his back is a delightful Owl Head Bead with matching purple eyes. Pin a little hat on his head made from a dark purple bead with a fancy silver sequin brim.
Fun to stitch, easy to finish!
