Product Description
Measuring 360 x 200 mm, Owlfred is an unconventional take on a common bird of prey inspired by a painting of an owl made of metal spare parts and a clock face tummy seen in an art gallery window.

Bead embroidery: 4 techniques

Needle Weaving: 5 patterns
Suitable for experienced embroiderers, it is a large but interesting and fun project that will keep you busy for a while.
