This is the other item I made for the Craftster needlework swap. My partner had lots of owls and lots of day of the dead stuff on her pinterest and so I designed this. I sketched out a very basic owl on graph paper and then added loads of decoration. I then used a sulky transfer pen to transfer my design onto my the felt. He is backed with a sugar skull design fabric and stuffed with toy filling. I might try and scan my pattern and add it to this post as a pdf if anyone wants it?
I like the teeth/beak the best - I was very pleased with how that looked - I was feeling very smug as I was stitching that bit up !!

The boys loved it too- all those bright colours they thought it must be for them right? I managed to rescue it before Rory dribbled on it!

ReplyDelete^^What she said. I am still so very new to needlework of any kind but I have someone in mind who would LOVE something like that as a gift! Practice makes perfect, right? Maybe I can get it to her in a year or two. :)
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! Really great idea.
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love the owl. The teeth/beak are my favorite too!
