This is a cooky owl.  I started out by sketching out little owls and cut one out to use as a base pattern, but decided against it.  I ended up looking at my favorite pic and then just free-form cutting out the owl pieces.  Then, I hand embroidered the owl onto a bas fabric using different decorative stitches.  I found the perfect beads to use as the feet in my bead stash and used bugle beads for his beak.  The eyes are the same button but I decided to turn one right side up and one right side down.  I think I am going to use this in a purse….maybe patchwork this into the flap…not sure yet.  Just needed to do something crafty for the challenge *smiles*
