Third Place

Stormy Night was designed and created for Needlepoint Now. My goal was to create an owl on a branch and to give it a fall feeling.

I used the Milanese stitch to give the owl wings and the outline stitch to create the eyes. To make sure the nose stood out, three layers of padding were used. To complete the piece, gray silk for a stormy night.
