This is a picture of an applique owl I made for the cover of a Natural History bag I made for the Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in Liverpool. These bags, and their contents, which included head-dress, large wings and owl 'food' were made for local school children to use whilst visiting the natural history section of the gallery.

 

Made using techniques such hand and machine embroidery, crochet, applique and quilting, the Natural History bags are robust and fun to use! Even more fun to make!
