An Owl




For some reason, I like owls. The other day, I picked up a small Muji owl (from Åhlens) to be built out of cardboard. I wanted to learn how build one of these - so I had a go.

This is how the Muji owl looks after assembling.




The owl was painted with gesso and I added some MetaMica (Blue steel) on the wings and tail for effect. All the feathers are glued on to the owl one by one. They have been made, from punched and distressed flowers, where the petals have been cut of to make feathers. 




The base was covered with strips of paper, embossed with distress embossing powder (vintage photo and pine needles). I also added some Distress paint (Forest moss) and Gesso. The base was also decorated with roses, flowers from Prima and a Prima bird.


I am entering these challenges:
