Lampshade
Handmade during a home decorations workshop, from a gray simple lampshade, using fabric colors and an awl.
Later edit: I decided to donate this lampshade for a generous cause, in a charity auction.

Matrioshka owl family
Bought from SavageArtworks on Etsy, these five owls are the Wizards' Couriers.
These nesting doll owls are based on the description of some of the owls in the Harry Potter books. The tallest one is Errol, the Weasleys' owl, a very clumsy Great Grey Owl.Hedwig is Harry's owl. it is a large, beautiful female Snowy Owl. In the movie, they have actually used a male owl, which has less dark markings.
The third one is Malfoy's owl, a large Eurasian Eagle Owl, very serious and little intimidating.
The forth one is Percy's screech owl, mentioned briefly in The prisoner of Azkaban.
The smallest owl is Ron's Pigwidgeon. Described only as a tiny, twittering bird, yet very hyperactive and expressive, guesses are that it is either a Scoops owl (the one in the set) or a Little owl. They have all been hand painted in acrylics and then coated with a protective finish.

The Etsy frenzy
And then, one day, in a slow owl period, I though I might use the Internet to refresh my collection. And I typed handmade owls in a google page. This was the beginning of the end, because of Etsy. For those who don't know about it, it's the place to sell and buy all things handmade. Almost 7000 pages with handmade owls were revealed and for one whole day I browsed and browsed and browsed. Finally, I picked up 5 items for my collection and I used Kev's post box for their landing.
Things would never be the same for my owl collection from that point on. I browse the owl stuff every other day and I sometimes order some new owls. The possibilities are endless.
First shipment: a ring, a stamp, a music baby, a bag and a stone-carved pendant (used for my keys)
