I recently reconnected with an old friend from this area who now lives in Pennsylvania. She has been hooking since 2006 and one of her original rug designs is on the November/December 2012 cover of Rug Hooking Magazine.
Read about why these owls are "Not Quite White" in a portion of the article Creating White from Colors. I think she did a wonderful job, don't you? Her home was just photographed for an upcoming feature in Rug Beat. The owl rug looks beautiful on her dining room wall.

Wow, that's impressive! Beautiful rug. My husband built an owl house a couple of years ago . We keep waiting and hoping for an owl to make it their home.

As an oil painter, I've learned that when one paints a white object, you seldom have any areas of pure white in it. This was a strange idea to me at first, but using all pure white creates a surface that appears flat. It has been amusing to discover the rainbow of colors you can use and still have an object appear white.
