Hi, does anyone know where I could find plans for making a whimsical owl bank for my little Grand daughter. Would like to design one myself, but feel that I don’t have the artistic ability. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

I got the designs/art work from coloring books or “image searches” on the internet. -- "You may have your PHD but I have my GED and my DD 214"
