Subtle Grey with Flowers in it's Eyes #2

This owl was crocheted freehand and given beautiful metal button eyes which were reclaimed from a blouse purchased at a thrift store. While it's very similar to another listed owl, it is a slightly different shape and feel. Perhaps they are a great set of identical twins?

The body is a pretty mottled gray that is soft and feathery fuzzy to touch, the beak is gray. The yarn is made of unknown man made fibers, most likely polyester or acrylic, and stuffed with with polyester fiber fill.
The beautifully detailed metal button eyes have a lovely flower motif and were reclaimed from a thrift store blouse. You must take a close look at these lovely buttons.

The owl measures about 3 inches by 3 inches and is very light and squeezable.
