“Owls work well for
these designs as their
simple outline allowed
me to experiment with
patterns and clashing
colours. I was inspired
by birds in tropical
parts of the world.”
Durene Jones, designer
Bright idea
We’re sure Durene’s
quirky owls will appeal
to people of all ages.
And they’re not just
for greetings cards –
why not frame one
to brighten up a little
girl’s bedroom wall,
or patch one onto a
notebook as a gift?Cross stitch in two strands
