My Creative Space: Owl Bowling Team Completed!

Finished at last is the owl bowling set! It's a Christmas present for the Bug. They're made with vintage sheets, mostly from Ange's Australian Vintage Sheet Fat Quarter Swap. Each owl skittle is embroidered with a number from one to ten. They're all ready to be set up and bowled over with the rather spherical dodecahedron (or ball).

The team line-up has changed a little in the process. The owl to the right I cut on the cross, and as a result he is a bit too out of shape for the team*. Because he is biased, he's unsuitable to be a referee, but perfect for coach and cheerleader.

This is new star recruit Ziggy.

****Oops! I meant to schedule this for Thursday but I pressed publish. Again! Sorry Creative Space Cadets.

* Oh alright I know this is discriminatory. But he was a bit too hard to topple!
