Repeat: Owl in the Tree

You've seen this little beauty before, so I won't get into the details again: but surely nobody could tire of this pin. It always attracts attention, and people always ask what it represents. I should get Daily Pin cards printed, so I don't have to repeat myself: but I suspect that would be churlish.

I was running a design workshop and reviewing a lot of stuff today, so I picked the Owl in the Tree to help me out. Call me old-fashioned, but the "tree of knowledge" and "wise owl" metaphors worked for me, let alone all those other tree metaphors involving roots, branches, growing, and all that stuff. And privately, as I dealt with the hordes of people, I could picture myself taking the owl's place: and closing the curtains.
