             For your consideration this evening:

I present two Melanistic Barn Owls.

Simply put, 

it means that they have a 

high level of dark pigment.

My heart is always present in my beloved Adirondack and Green Mountains.

I lived up on a hill once upon a time, 

A small house in the country, 

overlooking the Green mountains. 

Many a night, 

a barn owl would hoot 

and lull me to sleep. 

Once I saw a melanistic one, 

I was smitten.

but what would other's think?

Thank you for loving them on

 Social Media as they were becoming.

These two owls are what I call,

 Door Dolls.

They are meant to be lighter,

 so as to hang nicely.

Their bodies are made in a simpler manner than the china doll style.

They will still sit in a small chair or shelf.

They are sculpted of paperclay 

with fabric bodies.

Each holds a wire basket 

with preserved Sweet Annie

 from my garden.

They are approximatley 10 inches tall.

My original piece will come to you signed and dated.

Each Owl is
