It's gorgeous! But that poor empty owl.... is he your reward for when you've done all that dark blue background

Thanks for all of the wonderful replies. Mabel, you hit it spot on--that's exactly the reason I'm saving him for last

It's finished--over 3 skeins of 311 for the background, something like 6400+ x's since I added about 12 or 13 rows to the length. I love how it looks--picture doesn't do it justice at all. Thank you Rick, for a lovely design

WOW!!!

Superb! Doesn't that Owl look good against a REAL MOON!!!

Well done Karen!

All that background stitching really paid off.
I think I'll do mine on Navy Blue!

and congrats to the designer, too!

for the stitcher and the designer!!! Karen you really did a lovely job on Mr Rick's design. The moon is awesome. One of the best ones I've ever seen stitched. So realistic! Great job both of you.

Thanks for all of the wonderful replies--and I am pretty sure I'm going to frame it soon--with likely a white mat--so that it will fit into an 8 by 10 frame---thinking a rustic woodgrain for the frame, if not that, then a plain black frame
