Owl mug rug. I've been trying to think of other animals to follow the pig as a recycled CD. I'm quite pleased with this owl - I may even enlarge the design to make a matching pot holder.

He now has a potholder partner.

Very cute! It looks like it took a little while to figure out, but the proportions came out great. Love those eyes!

A cat was on my list of possibilities and perhaps a monkey...

He looks great!! When I first saw him at a distance from my computer, I thought he might be a turkey. The dark grey part could be the face and neck section with a goblet added, and the light grey part could have colorful feathers added. I especially like how you have given him depth using your different fabrics and satin stitches. So creative... I think the entire idea of recycling old CDs is just brilliant.

Thanks - I think that with different fabrics he could be all sorts of things!

Is there a CD inside of it or are you using it to trace the design?

Hi-- I know that most of these comments are from quite some time ago, but I just found your cute owls on Pinterest! I would love to buy the designs-- especially for the potholder. Can you tell me what size the bigger owl is? And, are they still available? Thank you so much.

Ann

They are not still available as DBC no longer exists. However, they might appear in my Facebook group sometime soon. (Engineered in Stitches.)

I do so hope so Sue. I have a friend who is owl mad.
