Hibu, Owl Box

Did you know Gufo had some family abroad? Well, his twin brother just arrived from Paris, and is now planning to stay in the Trash Family. His name is Hibu.

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 rusty washers 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.

Hibu measures 7x7cm, 8cm high, and just like his brother he is perfect for keeping small treasures safe and hidden inside!
