Meet Owlive!
She is my loverly little owl cell phone case!
A few days ago I was browsing the web for all things Owl, when I came across this photo...http://www.flickr.com/photos/thatischarming/4179172442/... which lead me to this tutorial...http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/12/owl-iphone-cozy-diy.html! I have been wanting to make an owl cell phone case for quite some time, so this sparked a project in my head:)
Now, I did some things differently. Instead of crocheting a rectangle, then attaching a piece of felt, I crocheted the whole thing, (doubled the length of my phone, folded in half, and sewed the sides together!). Also I crocheted the eyes and used buttons instead of cutting out circles from felt! And I thought she would look cute with some wings instead of the yarn embroidery at the bottom!
So.... Here she is...
Isn't she adorable?
My phone fits snugly inside!
I love her! every time i look down at her I smile! I love owls! Although she isn't exactly perfect, her little quirks make me love her even more! Like her crooked imperfect eyelashes, and her crooked button eyes, that have a little bit of hair color dying the white string I used to attach them with, (she got a little to close at work while I was coloring my clients hair!). I would love to try and make some more cute little animals for someone to enjoy! So please don't hesitate to make any requests!
Very cute! Love the bow. :)
