Owl Mandala

Owl Mandala
cotton and silk floss on 20 ct. linen
pattern from

I chose this pattern based on an on-going story telling project I've was involved in for several years.

The red line represents a story element, as well as the thread of any narrative that brings ideas together.









This is a close up of the stitching I did on the individual feathers.  I used both variegated and solid color floss in a wide pallet of browns and grays.  I then alternated contrasting colors to make each feather look distinct from the rest.
