looking rather dapper, Professor Owlington will be flying international tomorrow to his new home |
 |
he began as a simple form...a plain calico doll blank, from there he evolved |
 |
his eyes are metal buttons, swarovski crystals inbedded in hot glue and all backed with Prima printed flowers. |
 |
his colouring comes from Lumiere paint, Lindy's Stamp Gang Moonshadow Mist and a black Sharpie fabric marker |
 |
Swarovski bling on his spats...because all the most fashionable owls are wearing them like that |
 |
his cape is from a samples book of haberdashery fabrics that I found at a salvage yard |
 |
his replica eyeglass and silver plated chain add real charm. His texture comes from...PVA...yup woodwork glue!
The lovely little bow and pearl are from a chocolate Easter rabbit...I knew they would come in handy |
I am currently hosting two swaps on Facebook...one is an apron swap and the other is art dolls. The art doll swap is now on to our second theme..."the animal in me", I chose an owl because I feel that I have had so many experiences the last few months that I have become so much more wiser than I was before. This doll is Professor Owlington...and I am so happy with how he has turned out, I really hope my swap buddy likes him.
