How to Get a Head Without Hunting
Our artist Merikay uses hand painted velveteen fabric for the body feathers of our snowy owl. She creates the beak and talons from polymer clay, and uses soft real feathers for the fluff on its face and feet. The tree this snowy owl is perched in is also an original sculpture. Merikay makes the bark with a treated fabric which she paints and covers with lichens and moss from our home in the forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

About Owls
Owls are night birds, preying mostly on small mammals and acting as an important population control of mice and rats. The disappearance of our pet cat, several years ago, occurred at the peak of chick-raising by the Great Horned Owl that inhabits our Santa Cruz mountains of California.

Our artist Merikay will still crochet an owl for you on special order. Those of you who crochet should see our book on crocheting several kinds of soft-stuffed birds, including the crocheted owl at right. This is a white-fronted crocheted owl. It is crocheted from several yarns and soft-stuffed. Merikay hand makes the beak, and the feet from chenille stems. The owl is perched on an authentic Santa Cruz Mountain stick.
