This is one of my first designs where I wanted to blend my sculpture with the cuenca method of using colored glazes. The owl is a Great Horned Owl, the same I imagined when I was a kid camping in the woods near the tiny town I grew up in. Owls in general have proven to be a popular subject, but the Great Horned Owl seems to be the most recognizable. The original sculpture was created in hard microcrystaline wax. The same wax used in bronze lost wax casting and occasionally jewelry. The Original Night Owl goes well with my 4"x 8" "Timekeeper" barn owl.
