ps I've been meaning to tell you that I love your new avatar. I don't realize how much I identify people by the avatars until someone makes a change.

Thanks. It'll be changing again as soon as I've finished February's cottage so I'll be going pink next

I am confusing myself slightly though as I keep losing my posts, so I know what you mean about identifying people by their avatars.

Thank you

You could leave it there and have just the owl but the completed design is gorgeous. He's standing in a night landscape. There's a roadsign, some flowers and the moon. It's quite detailed and I'm sure there are loads more different stitches.

Excellent work on Wol! I really want to start mine soon, but I'd like to finish ToS first. Hopefully today. Today is my first day off in a week, so I'm playing catch-up here first!

The owl has caught a mouse. Mouse is made up of Octagonal Rhodes, Heart Rhodes and Fan stitch. There's also some backstitch.

I had some Crescent Colours Belle Soie silk left over from another project and one of the colours looked sort of mouse-like so I used that. I do love using silk

The Rhodes stitch and the silk gives the mouse a lovely texture so I'm really pleased with him. I've taken an angled close up to show him off a bit better.

Thanks for looking

You have done a lovely job with this pattern. I love the mouse and how the owl has him by the tail. The silk realy does give him a different texture too which brings even more life to your piece. Very well done.

What a great little mouse, and the close up shows the texture of the stitches beautifully!
