Alpha Challenge - O is for Ostrich



Having missed a letter due to our connection issues I'm getting in with plenty of time to spare for this fortnights challenge over at the Craft Barn.

O is for


 


And here is what me and my 2B pencil came up with...






I always write a fact that I discover and find interesting... I'm desperate to know if this is true?
'Ostrich have the largest eye of all land vertebrate' - I can't find any information to contradict it so I went with it...  Odd to think that a birds eye can be bigger than some carnivorous mammals; cool.




Right, I'm off to check out the other O's and maybe whip up another page too.  I had trouble picking... ostrich, owl, okapi, orang-utan - I want to do them all!!
:)

See you around

    Very cool ostrich especially with it being a pencil drawing. Your osttrich looks friendly than the ones I have seen but then again yours is not standing over me with two metres of height bearing down on me.lol. You must be very pleased with this page.

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better.

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
