Every Inchie Monday - Owl

Another late one.  I nearly finished it Monday but had to drive my husband to the airport on Tuesday and didn't get back till Wednesday however I did finish it Tuesday night but was not able to post it!  I used to own a barn owl, which free flew in our kitchen, but having done a barn owl for one of my other inchie challenges before, I decided to do a different owl and so went with a Turkenian Eagle Owl as I just loved his stern face and beautiful amber coloured eyes.

Didn't quite get the mixed coloured feathering, it is more speckled brown but heyho - it's an inch and I'm running out of that coloured thread as I've been using it for nearly every animal! - the fawn and  the squirrel anyway. It is getting colder even though we had a fabulous day yesterday but was on the road driving back and by the time we got home the sun had gone and it was already feeling frosty!  I'm having to crank up the fires and working in the attic is getting more unpalatable!!  Also how dark is it getting? - my daylight seems to be gone by 5pm!  Anyway happy autumn and thanks for dropping by.  Make sure you click this link here to view the other wonderful inchie owls and thanks for any comments you leave, it's always nice to hear from you.

Every Inchie Monday - Night Watchman

And so I've been to France and come back and gone to France again!!  This time to see my sister and have a week with her in peace and quiet having had all the family and grandchildren for last week !!  So this week for Every Inchie Monday the challenge is Night Watchman.  Well I actually have a tame barn owl - her name is Beatie short for Beatrix because when she was little and all fluffy she looked like one of the dancers in the Beatrix Potter ballet!!  Anyway I rescued her 19 years ago and she's still with us and as you can see very tame and having a bath in the dogs drinking bowl in the kitchen!  However I am diverting ...  The reason I've put photos of Beatie on is because I have always thought of barn owls as being the Night-watchmen of nature and so for this Monday my inchie is a barn owl perched on a bough with the full moon behind.  Please click on the link to check out everyone else's interpretations. Also I'm sorry if I haven't commented on everyone's inchies - I don't always have wi-fi and data roaming is too expensive so I have it switched off. However I am so impressed every time I go onto someone else's blog - you are a very talented lot of people and thank you for your lovely comments to me.
