Shuttle-cock?
Nooooo shuttle-owl!!
I can hear you wondering what the heck I'm on about........well the feathers I used to pad out the wings came from an old shuttlecock........I heated the feathers till they shrivelled somewhat and then painted them...............................
..............I have to tell you that burning feathers STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN!
I did one indoors and had to do the second outside!
The owl is mounted onto a small cigar box (one of my Portugal purchases) that I covered with braille paper.....a pressie from a friend........if anyone knows where I can get more I'd be very grateful :)
Sides of the box covered with some tape I bought a while ago........it melts if you heat too much but I liked the effect!
More braille paper inside the box. So, why did I make this box.........JUST FOR FUN!!!!!
