Bye Bye Big Owls

We're starting to get super busy for the festive season and the gallery and shop orders have been coming in thick and fast. We're very excited about our first Christmas with our new stockist especially Pippin in Edinburgh who commissioned a special order for a wonderful window display.

 

 Yes Folks today is the day that the big owls are flying the roost to their Wintering grounds up North! (well thursday is!) I have been carefully packing up my big owls for their journey along with a pile of robins and little owls!

 

Each owl gets it's own box with packing peanuts to keep the extra safe and warm on their journey, some aren't looking especially pleased with the arrangements but short eared owl always looks a bit miffed! I got a little emotional while I was packing them up, I kind of feel like I am sending my babies away but Erica at Pippin has a wonderful plan and I can't wait to see it!

  

All our stockists can be found here with links to their personal websites and instructions how to find them, we have stockists in York, Scarborough, Edinburgh, Cambridge, Mersyside, Dorset and Masham in North Yorkshire so if you want to visit any of them they'd love to see you. (stores and galleries only stock limited selections, if you are traveling a long way we recommend you call ahead if it is something in particular you want. Stockists details are here) Full range of birds are as always available in Feltmeupdesigns on Etsy

The Every Colour Tweet Felt Challenge

I have (perhaps rather foolishly) set my self a challenge to make on of these little guys in every colour fleece that I have.

The idea came about while I was trying to think of a better way to show customers what colours they can choose from for wedding cake toppers and what the cutest way of doing this would be... I didn't just want to direct people to my suppliers sites because I use several different suppliers... and then I realised that no only would be be cute but then I can sell the little bird off once they are finished!

The only problem is I have so much fleece that it's going to take me quite a while to do! But in the meantime I am getting lots of cute photos! I've done my yellows, oranges and blues and shall be moving on to pinks and greens next! I can't wait to see what they all look like together!

I Have put some on little strings to make a window display at The Eatme Space Gallery where I am now working every Friday and Saturday to entice customers in, they make a cute window display don't you think? You can find me in the gallery from 11am till 3pm every fri and sat now... I'll be sitting in there working away and waving to passer-byes!

You can also follow the Gallery on facebook... I'll be looking after the facebook page and posting new exhibitions and news regularly!
