Gufo, the Owl Box


Gufo came flap-flapping to join the Trash Family just a few days ago... he has been immediately accepted because he is so shy and small, and so gentle. And useful too! Just like the Box Bot, he keeps small treasures safe and hidden inside him.


Gufo measures 7x7cm, 8cm high. He is made out of a tiny wooden box (sanded and stained with a water-based, wengué colour varnish and with bronzed hinges and Chinese-style clasp closure to form the beak. Oh, and turned upside down, too!), some old washers, nuts and screws for the huge eyes and a couple of thick bolts for the legs. His wings are two flaps from a vintage cooking steamer basket, and the pointy ears are made out of those metallic bits used to secure pictures to the frames.
