All Dolled Up

Ann Wood is a fiber artist I follow. Love her sweet little hand stitched pieces of nature. 

Awhile back I purchased her pattern for the Dastardly Owl. 

Decided it was time to bring him to life. Here he is in progress.

I have a Pinterest board just for owls others have made
& some found in nature for design & color inspiration.

Her instructions for the talons was perfect. Fun to make. 

Lots of layers for the feathers. Fortunately I have a big stash of fabric to chose from. 

I've been making an effort to work on projects that all the supplies are already in my possession.

In this case I had the wire & florists tape for the feet, the fabric, stuffing, & buttons for the eyes.

I think I'll name him Whoratio. What do you think?

Here is my Pinterest Board devoted to dolls. 

Warning, my taste leans toward strange & creepy in some cases. 

There is another doll in the works I'll share another day.
