Tiger and fox to owl and snakes, animal faces made a fierce appearance on many Fall shows from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stylebistro.com\/runway\/Burberry+Prorsum\/London+Fashion+Week+Fall+2012\/lU4fZx4HvOI\">Burberry<\/a> to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vogue.com\/collections\/fall-2012-rtw\/kenzo\/review\/#\/collection\/runway\/fall-2012-rtw\/kenzo\/1\/\">Kenzo<\/a>. The owl and fox details spotted on the Burberry show were my favorite and has inspired me to sketch out my own Burberry inspired owl print on a T-shirt using fabric markers. Take a look at the pictures below from some of the fall 2012 runway shows featuring wild animal motifs.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #444444;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-KIJMl9qjff4\/UEPpvZV5uNI\/AAAAAAAAC7U\/1rXYYXMVzqo\/s1600\/Wildthing.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/heelinmint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Wildthing-1.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">Below are two collages with all the different types of owl motifs that were spotted on the Burberry show.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">From knitted and sketched out to embellished, all the designs are super simple with imperfect lines and edges.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #444444;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-zXXpymBIRWg\/UEPzyXue6rI\/AAAAAAAAC8I\/eoqoUUZWflg\/s1600\/Owl.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/heelinmint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Owl-1.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-GB3XG38eExg\/UEPyyDdEKTI\/AAAAAAAAC8A\/7HBvCURVNdY\/s1600\/owlwatch2.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/heelinmint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/owlwatch2-1.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<div style=\"line-height: 0px; padding-bottom: 2px;\">\n<\/div>\n<p><\/center><center><span style=\"line-height: 0px;\"><\/span><\/center><center><span style=\"line-height: 0px;\"><\/span><\/center><center><span style=\"line-height: 0px;\"><\/span><\/center><center><span style=\"color: #76838b; font-size: xx-small;\"><br \/><\/span><\/center><center><span style=\"color: #76838b; font-size: xx-small;\"><br \/><\/span><\/center><center><span style=\"color: #76838b; font-size: xx-small;\"><br \/><\/span><\/center><span style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">Here is my version of the Burberry inspired owl.

An embroidery hoop might help keep the fabric taut and prevent mess ups.
