A very tiny owl, hand carved from boxwood.

@bit The eyes are inlaid ebony. Well technically ebony sawdust.

@ColinWoodArt

This is very beautiful

Do you know which type of owl it is? (Just out of curiosity.)

[colinwoodart@mastodon.social]

@grb090423 Thank you. I was using barn owl photos as reference points, so it's closest to one of those.

@ColinWoodArt beautiful

[orange_lux@eldritch.cafe]

@ColinWoodArt are the eyes very tiny beads ? Or is it "just" very precise painting ?

[colinwoodart@mastodon.social]

@mim54 Thank you!

[colinwoodart@mastodon.social]

@orange_lux The eyes are inlaid ebony. Well, technically ebony dust.
