‘Doorstop Dumpy’ – Graduation Owl Doorstop

Here is another of my ‘Doorstop Dumpies’ which I created and designed the patterns for myself. This is in fact the first owl I made from my pattern. It was made for my Daughter after she graduated from Oxford University with her Master’s Degree. That is where the wise old owl and the sub fusk idea came from and I used this as inspiration in the design of my ‘Doorstop Dumpy’. As you will see in other posts in this section, I have made other owls from my pattern but no two are exactly the same, making them all unique!

Worcester College Ducks, Oxford University

For those who have browsed my LANDSCAPE SECTION, You may recognise this scene. In Landscapes it was done in soft pastels which gives it a real feeling of softness, This is the preliminary sketch for that artwork. The drawing was done from a photograph taken whilst visiting my Daughter, who was studying for her Master’s Degree at the time. The ducks at Worcester College are considered very important and are contained within the College Emblem.
