Handmade owl doorstop

What's better than a plaid doorstop? You got it- a plaid doorstop with owl features. I found the base (see first picture) at a local antique store. I thought it was the perfect shape for an owl body. Add some felt and buttons that were begging to be used, and ::hoot!hoot!:: I had a charming little owl.

I realize owls are kind of trendy now, but I have always had a fondness for the feathery creatures. Perhaps it is due to the wisdom they symbolize or their iconic features.

Please post your own owl adaptations and keep crafting alive!
