"Owl" Dip Pen

[CSue]

Working in wood has brought some surprises. But this little owl that turned up really tickled me! There was a fairly large knot in the middle of this Maple blank. I put some gold embossing powder in the holes followed by CA. I let it set awhile and turned it late one evening.

What'cha think?

Wow, that's a hoot! *groans*

Dontcha just love those little suprises? That's really cool! I have a BOW pen that has a bird face in it. It was one of my first pens, and is in my permanent collection.

I'd keep that pen for any nighttime journaling that you do.

That is really wild. Makes turning kind of like a box of Cracker Jacks.

I love watching these surprises appearing, sometimes they can spoil a blank, but it certainly added character to yours!

Great work![]

This one is going to a very dear cousin of mine who is retired from professional art career - and lost most of her portfolio in a flood.

I DO love these little suprises! thanks all.
