Diana's barn owl carved from tupelo.

Notice the acorn at the base, also carved from tupelo, and the leaf, made from thin copper.

The great blue heron, a piece which took an entire year to complete, forced Diana to learn a new technique—soldering.

Texturing, woodburning, and painting all come together to create the softness of the feathers.
