Summer Owls -a family of boxes

They are all slightly different, and so cheerful with their colourful big eyes: Let's welcome the Summer Owl Boxes gang to the Trash Family!

They are made out of wooden boxes (sanded and stained with a water-based, wengué colour varnish and turned upside down) Some of the boxes have bronzed hinges & some sport a single, big nickel one. A Chinese-style clasp closure forms their beaks, and the pinty ears are made out of those metallic bits used to secure pictures to the frames, or small bronze hooks.
I have used recycled nespresso capsules and a variety of washers, old and new, plus tiny black beads for their huge eyes. A couple of thick bolts and washers form the legs-feet, and their wings are two flaps from a cooking steamer basket.
8 x 8cm, 10cm high.

All of them -like the rest of Owl Boxes I've made so far- open up and are perfect to keep small treasures

And a picture of the making process, before I decided to go colourful for all of them... each has quite a lot of small parts -and I made a few! (I'll show the finished result of the two little ones on the left in a post coming soon)
