a nerdy owl canvas...

Today I would like to share with you a little canvas I created.  I love to paint and mix colors and do what makes me happy.  So as I sat in my crafty room looking around at boxes etc naturally I grabbed my paint, a stencil and a some things that were left over on my scrap table and got busy listening to some 80's jams... 

Here is the final finished canvas.

Steampunk Owl Canvas...

Wow time has really just flown by...  We are packing once again and getting ready to move one last time...  This time into our own house.  We close on our house Jan 17th... eeek 3 more days.  We are so excited and can't wait.  The move down to Texas from Washington was eventful and the little rental house we are in is rather cute, but I am soooo ready for my own house so I can stop overpaying for rent and change anything I want to...hehe  Now that we have been in San Antonio Texas since the end of August we truly love this place and we are so excited to call it our Home State.

Today I am working on some assignments for the rest of Jan and through Feb as I will start packing up my little scrap corner tonight to get it all ready for there "OWN" scraproom again.  Looking forward to having my own scraproom again.  It's been a while ok like 6 months, but all my goodies that have been packed since July I am sooooo looking forward to unpacking them.  I have been lost without all my lovely ribbon, stamps, 12x12 papers and the list goes on...  I know this time when unpacking scrapbook stuff I will find that box with all my adhesives in it.. hehe

I wanted to share a little something I made for myself... It's been awhile since I created something for myself.  Everyone knows that I love owls and love creating owls out of fabric, felt, and now even paper. hehe   This one hangs on my wall at work...

The Owl's are back again...

Yes they are... I started creating these Owls in 1987 around Christmas time. I was a freshman in high school and wanted to create some gifts for my cousins, friends etc. I created my owls from old drapes, sheets, towels, fabric you get the picture.  Over the years I incorporated buttons and use wool felt for the bodies.  A few years ago I started sewing them onto painted canvases and turned my little stuffed owls into key chains etc.  I use to sell them on etsy, at craft fairs etc. About 1 1/2-2 years ago I stopped creating them and really dove into card making.  A couple weeks ago and thanks to the most recent swap I was in I sat down and created the following items for my secret swap sister as on the questionnaire she stated she loved owls.. Now I have about 6 key chains done and 12 canvases painted and waiting for owls to be hand sewn onto them.  I plan on putting them up in my Etsy shop, but if anyone is interested in purchasing one etc please e-mail me at ElisaK12 at gmail dot com.

Owl Keychain

No two owls are a like as they are all hand cut with no pattern and sewn with different fabrics etc. I really love to sew and create fun whimsy things so I'm totally thankful for that swap a friend convinced me to join... So thanks Angela.

Here are some older blog posts on my little owls..
