owls, totes and a tutorial



yay! i finally finished my newest tutorial. it is a sweet owl tote bag created from a store bought canvas tote and lots of fantastic mayarts ribbon. this is my second entry into their design team challenge and i have loved working on this project. they will be posting the finalists soon for voting, so hopefully you guys can help me out a bit - i will keep you updated:)

i love looking at things different ways, so even though these suede leaves come in the form of ribbon, i couldn't help but see them as feathers. with that in mind, i was fixated on making a feathery owl. summer break is quickly on the horizon and i know i will be taking my munchkins to the library quite often, so what better thing to make than a fun library tote. don't need another tote? this owl could easily be applied to an apron or even used as a wall hanging.

  1. the owl works very well as a library bag, since it is the symbol of Athena, goddess of wisdom.

  3. If you don't get on that team something is VERY wrong. I have a good friend on the May Arts team (Jen Shears). When the time comes to vote be sure to let me know. I'll be all over it!
