This project has ended..

I am still getting requests for owls so I thought I should post this here. Firstly, thank you very much for your interest :) For various reasons, I have ended the owl project in March 2007. In total 12 owls were adopted.

If you want to make your own please check out Crafting Japanese for the Japanese book with the pattern. I do not have this book - as mentioned, mine are based on traditional chirimen ones I saw while visiting Kyoto - so I will not be able to help you with it. Please use Google!

Please visit me at my main blog and join me in my creative endeavours :)

The last ones #10, #11, #12

Left to right:

Owl #10 went to live Mipmup in USA.

Owl #12 was going to Adelyn in France but due to some mysterious incident with the post - he is now lost somewhere in between. A similar owl is on the way - let's hope it does not encounter any post incidents ...

Owl #11 went to Irene in Portugal. It has been named Esperanza meaning hope. Well, I hope he brought some cheer to Irene.

Some of my handmade pins went along.

Final ATCs

More owls #8 and #9

As you may or may not know, I have stopped The Owl Project. In total 12 has been sent (one was lost in the mail to France but it's substitute is on the way - let's hope it arrives safely). Here follows various posts for the remaining owls. A big thank you to those who have join in the game :)



This is owl #8 who went to stay with Julia in Spain. He went with a Californian pin from Charlene. His name is Gustavo and he has already made friends with Julia's cat, Chupito. Looks like he will be enjoying himself in Spain. I am thinking of tapas! Ahh... lucky Gustavo.


This is owl #9 who was recently sent as part of this package. He went to stay with Lyndsie in Canada. Wonder if he will get to meet some moose? Hehe.

I think I will stop sending ATCs with new owls. I should spare people my not very artistic doodles. The owls will still come with a card with their number in the series.

I will post pics/stories from people who have received later - I hope to do them in one go :)
