Does anyone know if there is a version of this that doesn't have the background charted?
I LOVE this owl!!! Does anyone know if there is a version that doesn't have the background charted? I'd love to use a hand-dyed fabric that simulates the background, instead of stitching all of that... I'm considering 3 Picture This Plus fabrics - "Gothic," "Mystic," and "Phantom."

The chart is black and white, and there are only small differences between floss colors in many areas. Biggies: 1) It's hard to tell exactly where the sky ends and the flowering branches begin; 2) It looks like there is water (a lake?) showing between the branches in each bottom corner; and, 3) It looks like there might be some silhouetted mountains and/or trees in the far distance.

It's my first time "removing" the charted background - and my first project on dark fabric. I emailed Kustom Krafts with my question, but they were not nearly as helpful as I'd hoped...

Any and all suggestions from my brother and sister stitchers are very welcome!!! Thanks!

KERRY -- Tereena at Artecy is terrific. She is always willing to help anyone who has purchased a pattern from her company. Make sure to contact her. FYI, she is in Australia so it is already tomorrow there.

I will definitely be contacting you, Tereena, as I absolutely love this pattern - did I say that already? lol.
