Iv been wanting a Owl Garden Ornament for some time & have found them Expensive 2 buy ! Well today i had a Idea with Many Thanx To Funky Fuchsias & Gillians Rock Painting ! So Off to B&Qs & Brought A Large Heavy River Cobble For Just £2.68 !

Then i Drew The Face, Wings ect in Pencil

When i was Happy With The Drawing I went over The Pencil Lines with a Permanent Marker & Here He Is My Owl :)

Hes not as Classy as Funky Fuchsias or Gillians Master Pieces but i Love Him :) x

Wow Jacque, that's great. You certainly have an artistic side - watch out Nosey P. This reminds me of an owl I made at school in pottery - still got it and use it as a door stop.
