Lucky Owls!

I recently went to an exhibition in the Geffrye Museum called 'At Home In Japan - Beyond The Minimal House.' This was a really interesting exhibition as it was jam packed with everything Japanese from kimonos to toothpaste packaging and everything in between! From this exhibition I learnt that owls and cats are believed to be lucky and to prevent malevolent spirits entering the home and causing misfortune... I have therefore created this simple repeat pattern using a couple of sketches of owls that I drew at the exhibition!
