“Owl," said Rabbit shortly, "you and I have brains. The others have fluff. If there is any thinking to be done in this Forest--and when I say thinking I mean thinking--you and I must do it.”

Linda Truscheit has an enviable style, she is masterful at evoking emotion from her balloons. She doesn't just create a pug, she creates a pug that is saying "please feed me!".
I count Linda as not only a great designer, but a good friend - and I know I've already mentioned that I keep a folder of her designs as inspiration. A while ago I attended a webinar where she taught a different type of owl, but this is one she has posted fairly recently that is just plain adorable. I was able to ask her about a few critical bits in this owl design and with her help attempt to recreate it since it fits in the holiday theme.
What I love about her designs is that they just make you want to squeeze them. I have made a number of these now, my line is - "someone said I should give this to you" -- "who?" -- "perfect."
I think the smaller body with chubbier cheeks is my favorite.
As with the previous ghost image, these were taken on too bright of a background for the background that they ended up being on. I can't unsee reflective blue and green!
