I’m working on several new owls including one made from an edwardian skirt (on the left above), a large black owl made from a victorian jacket and a little grey owl with green velvet horns and shoe button eyes.
I’m still going through my little scraps and making one of a kind birds, I’ve just added the first two bundled up birds of the season to the the shop and will be adding more regularly.
I had a conversation with Suzie Monday ( thanks very much Suzie) over the summer and you can find the resulting article in the September October issue of Cloth Paper Scissors.
Those little birds are sooo cute love their little acorn hats.
It was so nice to see this article in Cloth Paper Scissors…especially if one has been follwoing your work back to the day of the horses!
these look so lovely and wintery.
? like your works.they are amazing really..
I have been followig for a while and was so glad to see the article in Cloth Paper and Scissors. I love what you do and seeing what you use, I woud never find stuff like that here.
Can you tell us what you use to stuff your birds with? They always look so smooth and firm.
Thanks!
Hi Kim – I use wool stuffing – I think it gives the best shape and I stuff the hell out of everything. I get it here: http://www.weirdollsandcrafts.com/waldorf-dollmaking-supplies/wool-stuffing.html
I have to tell you I love your owls. Chillingsworth is still my favorite and I have included him in my blog for the second year in a row. Great work!
sigh…. your work is just amazing… such an uninteresting thing to say of me I know, but honestly… I just think you’re magic!!
thea.
