Common Barn Owl plush version 2.0! It was sold as a set with the a moleskine journal I illustrated at a silent auction to benefit the WSU Raptor Club. The plushie is loosely based on Widget, a bird that I work with. The legs and wings are partially wired so he is somewhat poseable, but it is a display piece and would not stand up to much wear and tear.

A tutorial for the plushie can be found here -->

This tutorial is free for you to use, so long as you you credit me (even if you modify it!).

There have been a few modifications from the original (he's taller, the wings were done differently and the proportions fixed a bit, the tail is a bit different, I fixed a problem I had with the eyes pulling on the back of the head, and a few minor other details), and although I'm still not 100% satisfied with it, he turned out very cute in his own distinctive way!
