Opal the owl

I'm having a owl factory here today. Opal is the first one that is ready to fly to a new home. You can find her here.

Woot woot!

It's been a while since I made any owls. The ones I've made earlier have all flown away to new homes so it was about time.

This is Odessa the owl. She lives high up in a birch. She is a sleepy little owl. Loves white chocolate and taking naps. Made from fabric scraps and vintage buttons. Up for adoption here.

 

Have a wonderful Saturday!

It's a foggy November morning here today. Let's hope we get some sun because I have planned a photo shoot today.

Penguins

These guys have also been un-finished and neglected for a while. But now they are ready. Poppy and Polly. 

Polly is available here.

 

Poppy already packed her bags and moved to New York. Lucky penguin! She could at least have taken me with her...

Testing my sewing machine

Well these guys are pretty much hand sewn but some parts are sewn on machine. And I still love it!
These guys are Ophelia and Od. Made from scrap fabrics found at flea markets and actually a pair of my old corduroy pants! New life for old pants!

Woot woot!

Before we moved I made these little owls. I have a growing love for making soft sculptures. It is so much faster than crocheting and I love hand stitching them together and attaching all the details. These guys are mostly hand sewn. Their bodies and wings are sewn on machine. All fabrics are from flea markets or fabric samples (for furniture or curtains I think). The gray one is Olga and the white one is Olaf.
