Tricia's Majestic Snowy Owl on Smith Point

 

Snowy Owl on Smith Point

Several years ago, we spent the winter on Nantucket. I had always seen photos of snowy owls but had never seen on in person. One weekend we went on a hunt to try and find one.   On Saturday we drove out to one end of the island and along the water's edge to the Great Point lighthouse. We did not spot one. What was amazing was how many people we out on the far end of the island in the middle of the winter. I guess that's what one does if you live on an island. On Sunday we decided to go to the other end of the island Smith's Point at dusk. As we were driving back I spotted something on the edge of the dune. We stopped the truck, hopped out and walked as close as I could. I was able to photograph the owl right before it took off. It was so exciting. I thought the Snowy Owl was just Majestic.

I used cotton fabric, fusibles and thread stitching. I printed the owl's body from my photograph on printed treasures and thread painted on top.

Karen's Majestic

 

I had my "majestic" all planned and then the

 inauguration happened and I had to switch my idea. 

Digitally printed flowers create the fireworks. 

They were cut and stitched with smoke monofilament thread. 

May be pretty simple but when I look at it, it reminds me of the 

fabulous fireworks show and makes me happy!
