Doorstop Dumpy Owl Twit-twoo Happy Easter to You! 🙂

My newest creation is ready just in time to wish everyone Happy Easter weekend!

This striking stripy character doorstop owl has been made from a coordinating selection of brown and cream cotton print fabrics. Adjusting the pattern I created for my own range of doorstops, I cleverly stitched the eyes and beak in such a way that it can move around and look at you with those big button eyes from different angles. So cute! 🙂

To decorate the character owl doorstop I used a selection of trims and buttons, some vintage and some brand new and finished it off with a lovely rich brown fabric tie with a shiny button stud.

As with all my new range of doorstops they are now shippable to anywhere in the world.  A simple solution to the weight shipping costs and customs restriction problem (Import restrictions in some countries don’t allow for earth/soils/grit) solved by the new owner simply unzipping the base removing the inner zipped bag, which can then be filled with a weighting element, (sand/grit/stone etc) replaced, zipped back up again and a perfect character doorstop ready to keep those doors open to let summer in! I pay the postage so you can add the weight!

”Button Buddy” Owls

 

I really do seem to be feeding my button-fest mood at the moment, every shop I go into which sells buttons has my custom almost guaranteed !!! Along with the thousands of vintage buttons I have in my collection I have been adding many new ones too. I just love to create and what better than with the odd button or two…or three…or four and more… and other bits and pieces (most people would throw away) too! :-).

My ”Button Buddies” range started a few years ago, when I went to a button flower craft workshop, everyone was making button flowers – except me- I wanted to create something much more exciting and individual, so I set about making little characters instead. At the end of the class, people sat with their creations in front of them. Needless to say, mine were not anything to do with the class and entirely unique! Yay!!! Since then I have been incorporating each and every indivdual unique button character creation into many different things, these deep box framed wall plaques are another in my range
