Something Crafty

Because the wonderful 
rift_bound was interested, I'm posting a couple of pictures of one of my other craft endeavours - I call them Wols (short for wool owls).
Meet the latest Wols...
I made them using a macrame design for a plant pot hanger, but used leftover wool and curtain rings, with bangles or twigs as perches. I made this lot quite a while ago, but I just found them again and stuck their googly eyes in place. They do all have two eyes, I just found it impossible to photograph them so that they showed!
From the tops of their heads to the ends of their tails, they measure about 8 inches, the hanging cords are around 4 inches, so altogether they're about a foot long. I have one hanging on the rear view mirror in my car as a car mascot and another attached to my rucksack. From start to finish, it takes about a day to make one - I've made dozens, but the rest are in storage at the moment, though I've got everything I need to make a few so I have something to do when the workmen are busy and I have to stay out of the way!
OMG - the news just said we're going to get 1-3" of snow by the end of tomorrow! What the flying fuck! It's spring! It's also my boy's birthday. Happy Birthday, son. Don't freeze your arse off :/
They are a good way to use up leftover wool and they're quite fun to make. I like doing macrame, but plant hangers and things are just too heavy to do these days because I have arthritis. These weigh almost nothing.
I adore owls too! We've got quite a lot of owl ornaments and soft toys - most are mum's as she is an owl fan too. Even our house is called Two Hoots (well, it was until the sign fell down a few years ago as I went out and just missed me. We've still got it, just haven't been able to put it back up!)
