A Parliament of Owls

This Parliament (I am told this is the correct collective name for owls!) of owls have left Coccuveda in Rothbury to their new home south of the Tyne to take up their important position of gracing a Christmas Tree!

This was a special commission for a lover of both owls and Tartan so mixing the two these little characters were created. Each one lovingly hand sewn, which did take some time.They maybe small but there is quite a bit of work involved in their production, from cutting out all the separate pieces, searching through many button jars to make sure there was enough buttons the same,hand sewing all the various elements together, then the stuffing and embellishing. Eventually commission complete and they are heading to a home where they will be adored!
It may be a while before I am ready to sew another owl!



 These cute reindeer are quicker to produce!
