I love this internet photo of a spectacled owl
looking at the amazing crocheted barn owl shawl
worn by this woman at a Renaissance Faire!
And keeping with the bird theme,
how about this fab crocheted chicken purse?
I really like the ingenuity
of these crocheted and beaded geodes!
This next photo shows artistry and craftsmanship

The Saskatchewan Roughriders of the
Canadian Football League have the BEST FANS in the country
and they are not afraid to show their undying devotion
in homemade, goofy ways, like wearing football

But if you can't find a watermelon, how about
wearing a cowboy hat constructed out of a
Molson Old Style Pilsner beer box instead?
(Molsons is an official sponsor of the Roughriders).
This stunning Progress Pride Flag was beaded
Okay, one last bird-related treasure --
look at this crocheted hawk shawl!
It makes me think of the magical falcon's cloak
worn by the Norse Goddess Freyja in order
to shapeshift into flying mode.
This shawl's pattern was designed by Crafty Intentions
and it was made by ihavethemangoes.
And finally, feast your eyes on
this absolutely stunning Solar System
embroidered and beaded by Ophélie Trichereau.
You can see more of her beautiful
art and embroidery here, if you want.
