new barn owl finished

20/10/2014

I have just had the best time making this, my first proper barn owl (with legs, claws and wings). He is a commission piece so I'll have to say good bye to him this afternoon. I love making new pieces...looking at illustrations in books, sketching, thinking, planning, experimenting and that feeling you get when something all of a sudden looks just how you imagined :)

The barn owl is gorgeous. How big is he/she? And how.many designs before you liked what you designed.
I am beginning designer of cloth objects. I love working with different fabrics, but at times my ideas can't get to my hands. Haha

Also may i ask what the measurements of your beautiful dolls?
Thank you Kat

Thanks Kathy. I have made so many barn owl prototypes that I have not been happy with at all. I just put the unsuccessful attempts aside and start again, and learn something from each attempt. Also don't be too much of a perfectionist :)
My owls are around 32cm tall and my dolls are around 22cm tall.
