So about the eyes. The Bug and I went up to Lynne and Tegan's shop and painstakingly chose eight different pairs of buttons for the remaining owls' eyes. I took the bag of eyes to the Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild meeting on Saturday and dang! I didn't bring them home again.
So if you were at the meeting, or even just walking around North Melbourne, please keep your eagle eyes open for a snaplock bag of brownish buttons!
Worse, they're in a bag with my owl template, enlarged to the size I'm making. And I'll be needing to cut out an extra one, I think, because the Bug and his Little French Friend took them out for a test flight on the weekend and I think one's flown the coop!
My favorite so far is the striped one. He looks a bit like my dad.

I just love these.They are going to look amazing when they're finished. I had a bit of a laugh thinking that the stripey one reminds me of my dad too. He's round and wise, so I guess it works!!
DOH!
I am always losing findings & buttons & what not... but generally just around the house - not quite so bad!
Loving your parliment of owls, much nicer than the other sort... ;)
I had a feeling you'll be making more of those =D Sorry about your buttons it is always happens to me...with my wallet, my bag, my shopping... so I super understand =D
The owl that has the eyes is made of my grandmother's sheet. My father and uncles all used that sheet as they were growing up. And I remember the bed being made with that sheet when we would head up the coast as children to visit her... and now it looks wonderful as an owl. So truly beautiful. You've done a fantastic job.
