Pine Cone Owls / Sove od češera

Pine Cone Owls insipired by Lia Griffith

 

Prošli četvrtak dolazi moj 11-godišnjak iz škole

i obavještava me da moramo napraviti "nešto"

za prigodnu prodajnu akciju njegovog razreda.

 

Last Thursday my 11-old son comes home from school

and informs me that we have to do "something"

for his class' fundraiser sale.

 



 

"Nema problema", kažem, "Kad trebaš to donijeti u školu?"

"Sutra ujutro."

???!!!

 

"No problem", I replied, "When is all due?"

"Tommorow morning".

???!!!

 



Original source

 

Istog momenta mi na pamet pada ova ideja sa sovama od češera

koju sam nedavno vidjela na jednoj FB stranici.

Uz malo truda, brzo sam došla do originalnog izvora.

 

I suddenly remembered this pine cone owls idea

that I saw recently on certain FB group.

With little effort, I got original source soon. 

 

 



 

Imala sam žuti, svjetlo plavi, tamno plavi i sivi filc.

Češere sam pokupila po dvorištu.

Na originalnoj stranici možete isprintati šablone za izradu ovih sovica,

a pošto meni printer ne radi,

pokušala sam iskopirati kroj od oka

i mislim da mi je prilično dobro išlo od ruke.

Iskrojila sam krila, zaljepila ih ljepilom za drvo,

isto tako i oči i čuperke.

Češere sam pošpricala bezbojnim lakom

Nogice sam isto napravila od filca, žutog.

Dijelove sove sam pištoljem ljepila na češere.

Dodala sam i srebreni konopčić na vrh češera,

da se sovica može objesiti na bor.

 



 

I had yellow, pale blue, dark blue and grey felt.

I got pine cones from my back yard.

You can find a pattern on original site,

but my printer wasn't working so I tried to copy it by hand,

I think I got it pretty much right.

I cut all body parts,

glued them with  glue.

I spreyed pine cones with acrylic transparent sprey,

added silver rope hangers at the top of the each cone

so my owls can behanged on Christmas tree,

made feet out of yellow felt,

glued everything on cones with glue gun.

 



 

 

Napravili smo 30 komada,

a svaki je bio kombinacija dijelova različitih boja.

 

We have made 30 owls,

and each one had body parts of different combinations of colors.

 

 

 

 

Ova me je ideja posebno privukla zato

što svaka sova ima poseban izraz lica,

vlastiti karakter :)

 

 

 

 

I was expecially thrilled by this pattern

because each owl has different expression,

character of its own :)

 

 

Sve su se sovice prodale,

čak se tražio i koji komad više.

 

Nadam se da ću za drugi put imati nešto više vremena!

 

 

All of our hand made owls got sold at fundraiser,

so we are pretty happy with the outcome.

 

Hope my son will inform me of date due much earlier next time!
