Steampunk Owl ATC

 
This card is for a swap in the Creative Souls Group.  Everything on the card (owl, moon, bats) except the background is metal.  The branches are made of twisted wire, the head is an old subway token and the beak is a pen nib.  Below is a picture of all the bits and pieces I used.
I made extra so I will probably offer one of these cards in next months (May’s) drawing.
