I've seen (and purchased) some "Owl" fabric at Wal-Mart. The owls are not "realistic" (I mean that they're sort of "cartoon" characterized owls. When we were cleaning out my aunt's house, I found a beautiful pencil drawing of an owl (about 12-14" tall), and I intend to copy it and do some embroidery, at some point in time (if I live long enough! LOL). If you would like a photocopy of this drawing, let me know and I can either scan it in and e-mail it or mail you a photocopy of it!
