Owl Eyed!

I had a skein of Vanna's Choice "glimmer" in brown that I had sort of bought by accident, and decided it would make an awesome owl beanie. The hat is a basic beanie with a shell edge- to look like feathers. I made rounds that have a crocodile stitch to put around the eyes to look like the feathers around the owl's eyes, and added ears, and a beak. I am very pleased with the Owl, and I have never seen one like it! The goldish color of the eyes is Bernat "mosaic" Medusa variegated yarn. I can't wait to send this owl off to a home ^__^

This is the handbag made from recycled grocery bags, and acrylic yarn. I used only yarn on the strap because while sturdy, I felt the bags were a bit rough to be against the skin and the strap will come in contact with skin, depending on how much you put in the bag it could become uncomfortable. The bag was a rectangle with one rounded end, and I started the other end with ONLY recycled bags, for a flap that folds over, sewn down as reinforcement- while a pretty bag, and a great statement, being recycled from old bags, it is also meant to be a functional purse. I decided to sell these for $50 each. The material is not the issue- it is a self designed item, and each one is one-of-a-kind without a doubt! I am really proud of how this came out, and I will start a new one when I get my hat orders caught up. Just so you know for those who are curious, my next hats will be a black hat with a skull, an owl hat, and a Chewbacca hat.... I have also just finished some lovely hats made with Lion Brand Tweed Stripes yarn with appliques.
