“i told you i could touch my toes”

by

SOLD

A playful piece — I try to find the best position of the stone, where the image will have some movement. With this one, I had the Owl stand on one leg with his left wing folded over it, and with his right leg sticking up in the air… which allowed me to add a foot. The title came from the position of the foot and how the wing touches it.
