felt fetish

For some reason little felty ideas are in my head at the moment. All three of us were in the kitchen stitching this evening. Han is not well and put hers aside for a while. But Em has made a marvellous owl - a symbol of good luck in Japan, for her friend who is about to sit high school entrance exams.
This little star is my creation. Hope you like it.

my first felt owl ---TA DAH!

Even though 6th Form was the main focus of the week, I bought a copy of PRIMA CHRISTMAS MAKES as a distraction. Bit of a spur of the moment thing because let's face it.....apart from looking at all the loverly stuff, chances of making anything are slim.

But, life is full of surprises and this afternoon this little bloke came into being, wonky embroidery and all...

Here he is lying on the page with other similar owls....His ear feathers are more like horns and too far in, but it is so nice to have made something and finished it and have something to show off....
