She used a green fairy frost for the bag base that the owl is
put onto, and matted the owl in a French vanilla cotton fabric.
The heart is a Christmas cotton that has what looks like
glittery bits in it and she added some white beads to highlight
the eyes. Quilted in a clear thread. She used embroidery threads
for the extra details. The eyes have some blue fabric that had
flowers on it, so she cut them so the the centre of the eye was
in the centre of the flower. |
