A new line of items!
OK, I have not dropped off the face of the earth! I know it’s been a week since my last post, but I have a good excuse! I have been busy designing and making a new line of items for my PoshGirlBoutique Etsy shop. I have mentioned many times that I have a thing for owls, and I had purchased some wool sweaters from Goodwill a couple of months ago with the intent of using them to make felted flowers.
Well, the felted flowers have somehow never transpired, but while organizing all of my supplies, I decided that I had to do something with the sweaters I had aquired. So I felted them in the washing machine, and was just amazed by how well they turned out! So what do I do? I head back to Goodwill in search for more! I was lucky enough to find several more as well as some wool blazers.
So after ripping and cutting everything apart, felting them in the washer, drying them, and chasing bits of wool fluff all over the laundry room (LOL!) here is what I have come up with. These little owl babies are totally eco friendly! The bodies are repurposed sweaters or jackets, and the eyes and noses are eco felt. They buttons are ones that I have had forever, plus I’ve been able to collect some new ones from my recent Goodwill purchases.
Here are just a few of the owls that I listed, but there are many more in my shop. I have several more cut, but I still have to add all the parts and stitch them together. Hopefully I will get some more listed later this week. My next endeavor is going to be a different shaped plushie - perhaps a little perched birdy…
