Exactly that. Honestly what would you do with little sisters?!?!?! I think this must be one of the fastest patterns I've ever done. Sally asked for a barn owl in a bit of a hurry. Said she didn't have time to do one herself so could I? Well I'm never slow at taking a challenge although I have several in the pipeline (one is another design I did for her too!). So here, after just over a week, is the barn owl. There are sooooo many owls done in tatting that I thought it would be a huge challenge BUT BC3 was around with nothing to do and he said 'how about a sideways one'? The rest, as 'they' say, is history and here he is. I guess that with ear tufts and a bit of 'playing around with' he could be any 'sort of' owl but really I'd have to ask 'Anitra of the Owls' for more information about that. This link that I've added is to her and her husband's site. Anitra and her DH take in raptors etc and look after them in a rescue refuge. She has lovely stories about owls.
