Snowy Owl

Snow, Polar, white&fluffy sound Christmassy…  That’s how snowy owl became ornament.

Traditional round shape (perforated paper 14Ct), magnificent eyes and Rainbow Gallery Wisper thread for fuzziness. Blackwork feather pattern seems ideal to embroider birds.

Snowy owls are such beautiful birds and thank Harry Potter, who brought them back in trend : )
