             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
295.00
and 15.00 for shipping

in the continental US.
I do not ship outside the US

Please specify your choice by name
