"Snow Owl and its Owlet" was made from 2 types of quail eggs and a peahen egg. Theowlet was made from a finch egg. Photos of a snow owl were studied to make the eggbird in proportion to the live one. The owl was assembled from 3 eggs (head, body andwings). The wings were cut and carved from a peahen egg. Legs were assembled fromwire and modeling paste. The entire bird was covered in multiple layers of modelingpaste and then carved to create the feathers. Eyes were added as well as the wirebeak. The owl was first painted with a pewter wash to replicate the underneath feathers.Dry brushing of white was added and finally pewter speckling. The owlet was createdfrom a finch egg in the same manner. The base was created from a Corian base withmodeling paste and snow effects (AK snow micro balloons). The branch was createdfrom wire, strips of glue-soaked paper towels and paint.
