    Hello everyone!!
    Another of my anthropomorphic characters is this cast iron owl. I painted him in the colors that I felt suited him best. This one was cast at a foundry in England and was very rusty when I got him. He was very well cast and nicely detailed. I cleaned, painted and waxed him. This cast iron owl measures 12 1/4” tall, 6 1/2” wide and weighs 11 1/2lbs! So, he makes an excellent doorstop.

    Thanks for stopping in for a look!!
    Scott

      Oh I love owls! Used to "talk" to them at dusk when I lived in the country and they would talk back!
      He's marvelous!

      Eileen,
      Thank you so very much! You're far too kind. I love owls as well. That must have been wonderful being able to hear the owls at night. It's always exciting to see an owl around our place as they're a rare sight for us to see.
