Owls hanging nursery mobile

Recently I created this set of cute owls to make into a mobile to decorate the nursery of a friend, which has a woodland theme.

I used lots of scrap fabrics but with a similar colour scheme, sewing 4 stuffed owl characters and 4 different kinds of leaf. I tried to add some detail to the back of each owl too, using buttons, felt and different patterns of stitching to stimulate the small person whilst they look at it!

I'm really pleased with how the owl characters turned out and maybe I can make some more of these little characters soon! Please do get in touch if you would like any similar things created for you.

 

 

 

Art that's on my wall

 

I thought I would share my collection of screen prints and art with you, I intend to add more, up the the ceiling!

 

This is a greeting card by Freya art, she also does lovely screen prints and other products.

I bought this original print by Alice Hoult when I visited Pick me up Exhibition back in march, she has a whole circus series all of which are rather lovely.

 

This is my own creation, Mr Caslon owl, made from V&A museum papers and then screen printed. Similar ones are available in my Folksy shop now!

 These lovely foiled postcards and the one on my wall is by Sanna Annukka, a Finnish illustrator and printmaker whose work I admire, I think I bought it from Paperchase.

The owl and tea cup stack original screen prints are by the lovely Peskimo, whom I met at Pick me up.

 

Finally is a greeting card by Darling Clementine, a Norwegian Duo who always come up with simple but brilliant characters, these ones are from "The Claudettes" range of cards and stationery.

Halloweeny Folk

Having not made anything from fimo since Christmas I decided to get some orange and glow in the dark to make some Halloween Characters. They were rather fiddly and I'm not sure Fimo creations are my forte but here are my attempts!! I'm the most pleased with the ghosty earrings.

The Ghost and Pumpkin earrings are for sale on my Folksy Shop.

Chrimbo Characters

These are my latest Christmas Characters :)

Wallace the Owl

My series of Character Characters begins with Wallace the Owl. Think I might stick to a birdy theme for now. More to come...
