Horned Owl Ready to Fly! - Night Sky

I wanted the owl to look as authentic in the night sky as possible. It took a lot of time to select the right glass for each piece and area of this panel. Special attention was made to the wings of the owl, which I cut with my ring saw to keep uniform ripples. I used a lot of special order art glass from Uroboros, Kokomo and Youghiogheny in this panel.
