Skye's Owl Babies

The owls took a little longer than the weekend, but I am happy to report they are done!


The graduating class of January 2010 (soon to move into mobile form):


My friend helped construct some branches with hooks. Now after these have set with varnish the mobiles will be ready to construct.

All-in-all the owls are a fairly easy project, but take a bit of time. Finding the right socks, cutting the pieces, sewing, embroidery and constructing the mobile. Stitching the wings and beaks and hand sewing means each owl takes an evening at best. And two if you count getting the body done. If you want to do a similar project I would recommend doing the work in stages.

On that note. This nite owl is off to bed!
