Paper Owl

I got the inspiration for this owl from Paper Source; their holiday owl garland, to be precise. I made the owl using a paper piecing technique.

Overall, I used only two kinds of paper punches: a 3" whole punch, and a 1" scalloped circle punch. I cut the rest of the paper pieces by hand.

Since I wanted something clean and white, I used two different shades of shimmer white card stock over a base color of blue.

As you can see, the body is made of layered circles.

I am also making a few more paper forest animals: a fox, a hedgehog, a turtle and so on.

Add more aqua to your life...

Maybe it's the snow casting blue shadows outside, or the color of the sky today, but it has me thinking in happy bluish tints :)

I shamelessly suggest these from my shop :)

Owl Dress

A few weeks ago I got a fabulous Halloween dress in the mail - made by Carmenmerie a.k.a repurposefulpunk, so this year I'll dress up as an owl :)

I love handmade clothing, especially if it has pockets, which this little number certainly does - so handy for holding a lipbalm, keys, and so on.

Thanks for making it, Carmenmerie!

p.s. Check out her Etsy shop for great pieces and ideas.

Owl and Fox Felt iPhone Cozy

Of all the pretty iPhone accessories out there, these felted iPhone keepers are among my favorites!

The owl and the fox were created by frauleinschmidt. I love these felt piecing works, as well as the felted acorns she makes - perfect for fall decor around the house.

Owls

I was messing with some scraps of papers left over from past projects, and these 2 owls came out as the result.



The owls were drawn by hand (the idea came from one of my stamps), and pieced together from different paper scraps that were also cut and inked by hand.

They are quite large (as big as my hand - maybe slightly bigger), and I just have to figure out what to do with them. Create a card with them, or use them for scrapbooking...? Any ideas?

Let me know.

Cheers!
