These are silk worm cocoons made into little owls. Small subjects. A present from my children bought on their trip to Japan. They always give me owl – things, knowing I love owls. Somehow it was difficult to photograph them, not only because they are about the size of a bumble bee.

How cute! And small 🙂

Brilliant!
Thank you! Small they are…
Marvelous photo for this week’s challenge. Adorable and creative.
Thank you, Cee!

Thank you!
Beautiful …. and cute. Delicate like everything coming out of Japan.
I don’t know if I have told that I had a pet owl (real) – by name Oscar when I was a kid.
You did! Now I’m curious – how did you end up with and owl? Was it found motherless or how? Please tell the story!
My grandpa was the council game keeper in Höör – and he found Oscar on the ground – a couple of weeks old, but no nest above … so that is how he ended up with us.
He was the whole streets pet – and a neighbor wanted to give him some snacks and gave him bacon … and he died a couple of days later. The bacon was too salty. It was terrible to lose him – had him for nearly 3 years.
Oooooh, I cant help thinking – how did that neighbour think? Do not ever give anything to wild animals that they would not eat themselves being free in nature. I understand how terrible this must have been – how unnecessary! But then again – poor neighbour…I guess he/she just wanted to be friendly.
Yes, the neighbor he was devastated, he had forgotten that the bacon was salted … he didn’t do it on purpose and he had feed Oscar before, but not with bacon. We were all heart broken – the whole street … he flew and visit them all every day. *smile
:((
I did not come to this yet but love yours!
I can’t wait to see yours…always a treat!
Losts of ideas swirling. I save the challenges that appeal to me. I have 23 saved .Hehe Ann.
Wow. Good idea!
How tiny and cute.
Tiny they are. Tiny things tend to aim for your heart, don’t they. And big eyes. Even if these don’t have any real eyes.
Your children bring you such beautiful gifts…you’re blessed indeed 🙂
I am very lucky having children. There was a time I though I would never have any, so I was blessed. I know you are too.
Utsökta små grejor! Är det Du som virkat dukarna? 🙂
Svärmors mor, så de är riktigt gamla. Förr virkade jag ofta och gärna, men inte nu längre. Tennisarm och sämre syn – kombinerat med dåligt med tid…Virkar du?
Jag hade en ganska lång virknings-fas på 80-talet. Har ett helt batteri med runda och ovala, virkade dukar hemma. Som kronan på verket, skulle jag naturligtvis virka ett överkast också. Hittade inget mönster som jag riktigt gillade, så det blev ett stickat överkast! Vitt och blått. Se’n la’ jag av 🙂
Armarna eller du – eller båda?
silk worm cocoons made into little owls… love it! Great choice, Leya!
Thank you – well it sounds weird maybe…but I like them!
They are really cute!
Well, I’m glad you like them! Very tiny but strongly built.
Mysiga djurgrejer 🙂
🙂 Begriper inte hur de kan hantera så bräckliga ting, japanerna. Det gäller att vara nätt på handen.
haha ja verkligen 🙂
