Beautiful owl, his crimson colour is the best- that's very cherry like or maybe even a little bit gothic like and spooky?! Which is fitting considering he's an owl and I can imagine him hooting on a tree in the moonlight- he's an awesome design and colour!
Very strict and to the point, love owls, nice touch to the eyes !~
Many thanks for the owl love everybody

Thanks so much Lauren for your fantastic compliments, that is a terrific way to describe this owl - a bit gothic and spooky! I always think of this type owl around Halloween when their "hot hoo" call is a bit unnerving....I'm a fan of the old Hammer horror films, and Halloween is one of those holidays with both Christian and pagan symbolism that was done really well in those films. Isn't that cherry red enamel body pretty, it looks sort of glazed on
Phil those green eyes are watching us lol :) It's funny how most owl brooches are in this upright position with wings tucked in, nice when they spread their wings but rarely seen (I do have a couple though). Thank you for your marvelous comment & observ
Thank you Falcon61 and Maureen for the love for this Sphinx owl, very kind of you both and much appreciated always
Thank you Cokeman for the love for this owl, you're always so kind and I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness
Thanks Sean & clockerman for the love for this owl, very glad you both liked it and always grateful for your kindness
