Sweater Surgery - Owl Inspiration

I've been playing around with a book I recently bought called Sweater Surgery: How to Make New Things with Old Sweaters. It has the cutest OWL project but of course I'm always altering the pattern in my mind even before I begin.

I posted on the Etsy forums asking for some inspiration from other Etsians and I wanted to share with you...

SleepDreamPlay shared two amazing Owl Brooches inspired by photographs and illustrations.

LittlePancakes shared this super-sparkly vintage brooch.

EverImprovingMe shared this tote with an owl's piercing stare.

PhotoTeresa shared this amazing print -- my husband is dying to know how she could get so close!

WHIMSYlove shared not one but TWO cheery springy owls!

SHAMBEEandJAK showed us two great owl keepsake boxes. I totally dig the pink and black - that's the kind of girl I am!

I would like to thank all of the Etsians who shared their fab creativity with me! I'm bursting with inspiration, it's Sunday morning, it's sunny, and I can't wait to get crafty!
