This short eared owl sculpture is made of hand printed papers in copper brown, white and pale gold. She has a black beak and yellow and black eye details. I think she looks a bit like she’s wearing eyeliner! She perches on a branch of lilac and peach clematis flowers, accompanied by some leafy stems.

32 cm (13 inches) wide and tall. the owl is 19 cm (7.5 inches) tall.

Varnished with a UV protective lacquer. All my sculpture need is a tickle with a feather/microfibre duster every now and then.

Hangs from the wall via suspended fishing line and a little steel hook.

Arrives wrapped in a box adorned with paper ribbon, ready to give as a gift, or as a nice present for yourself.

Clematis flowers traditionally represent ingenuity and mischief. This is thought to be because of its ability to climb up seemingly inaccessible walls and other tricky surfaces.

Short eared owls are diurnal, and one way of knowing this is by looking at the colour of their eyes, which are yellow. Nocturnal owls, such as barn owls, have dark eyes, while crepuscular owls, such as Long eared owls, have orange.
