needle felting - a cute little owl

     

This  piece is a little owl, I did just for fun.    It measures roughly 4 1/2 inches across.  All done with needle felting through a piece of craft felt.    I started with the little sketch I used earlier to carve a rubber stamp.       

Another basket of owls

Here is the latest batch ready for the gallery.     

Owl Swap Feb 2015

Some of the gals in  an online group decided to swap owls.  We got this swap idea several months ago but waited for deadline in Feb so it would not be in conflict with holidays.    Here are the flat ones that I sent and received.   One is fron Arizona, two from Texas, one from Canada, and mine (its the one with the fabric feathers).    I have then grouped together on my table.    the feathery owl and the little clay one on wire feet are from my Christmas collection.   I thought they'd like the company.      

Thanks gals, that was a fun swap.    I love the variety, and all the different techniques you used.     They look so cute together.   Only the one on the left arrived with a broken button eye.  I have not replaced it yet, cause I kind like it this way.   LOL     

I made mine to hang off of wine bottles.   The feathers are a mix of text from a book,  some cotton fabric, silks and some upholstery materials.

Tis the season

At the white elephant gift exchange at the art center pot luck dinner, I got the two little owls that look so good with my little owl cookie jar I bought last year.    

  Lisa took what I had already received, and I filched this from Pam who had already had something else snitched from her.     Eventually everyone seemed happy with what they received.   It was fun.     Here's Frances and Lisa on the way out.    

  By the way, the two owl books sold right away.     I'm glad they have found good homes.     

Here an owl, there an owl....

Okay, for the moment I'm owl obsessed - but dont' feel like you have to send me one.   Honestly these things do pass....




I made these little primitive owls as ornaments that can later be used as pin cushions or cat toys.      I now have a cookie tin full of the little owlets. Some of them have wings, some don't.     They are too young to leave the nest so it really doesn't matter.

I used an old cutter quilt, an old red plaid flannel nightgown and a scrap of upholstery fabric sent by a friend.
