Autumn Owl

 

Loved looking at all your Autumn fruits and berries tags last week.  A truly amazing harvest from everyone!  I  love autumn and working with warm autumnal colours, so for this week’s theme of OWLS, I knew exactly where to start.  Last year I tie-dyed some fabric as the base for an Autumnal textile panel.  I used a leftover scrap of this to cover the front and back of my tag, leaving the edges frayed.

Next I painted on the outline of an owl with gold glitter paint, adding a bit of detail for feathers.  (I used Pebeo glitter touch 3D paint)  Behind the owl I drew an oval hollow and filled it in with black marker pen.

Next I attached two die-cut leaves, touched up with brown glitter paint.

For his beak and eyes I sewed on beads and sequins.

To echo the owls golden eyes I have threaded two beaded rings onto the bottom of the tag.  I used ring-size memory wire for these. The tag is finished with a simple gold thread.

 This shot shows the tie-dye colours on the back of the tag.

Thank you to Carolyn for your owls backdrop.  I love the falling hearts!  Thank you as always for your lovely comments on my berry tags, the wine is looking good!  Apple and blackberry wine now too! Cheers!

Bye for now,  Jane xx
