Hello everyone, It feels so good to be back creating and blogging again
after such a long hiatus. One of the main reasons I'm back is because I
have rejoined the
Maya Road design team. Yayyyyy! It seems I'm more creative with someone breathing down my neck. Ha! But
seriously, I'm thrilled to be back with the MR family and sharing my projects with you. So let's start with this one first.
I love to create owls every so often. So when I saw the
Antique Mini Quill Feathers in my DT box
, I couldn't resist.
Here's how it was put together.
For
this project two pages from the
Pumpkin Squash Coaster were used, a die
cut page and a solid one.The stem of the pumpkin was cut off from both
pages, then they were covered with patterned paper. Two decorative
scrolls were also covered with patterned paper, then the pieces were
glued together. Some twine was attached around the edges of tummy area, as you can see in the finished piece above.
For each eye four
Kraft Flowers were layered
together. Since the flowers only come in two sizes, I trimmed two of the
flowers, so I would have four different sizes. Large and small wood buttons were
painted then glued together to create the eye.
After gluing the kraft flowers and eyes in place, a leaf shape was stamped onto some orange patterned paper, for the beak. A little 3D Crystal Lacquer was applied to make the beak shiney. The Antique Quills were attached behind the kraft flowers and a tuft of twine was attached, as well.
The Kraft clock was mounted to some chipboard, then embellished with a
chipboard star and a smaller
wood one, some twine, a few stamped leaves and a sticker. The owl and the clock pieces were then attached together using some chain and jump rings. One more antique quill was then attached to the bottom of the clock. Lastly, I glued some painted
Wood Twigs behind the owl to rest on.
Other Supplies:
Authentique - Enchanted collection kit
Tim Holtz - chain and clasp for hanging.
Other - paint, jump rings
See you soon,
Jen
