Winter. We just enjoyed snow and ice in the Netherlands. And 0 degrees camping in Israel. Time for a King Winter with a staff spreading snowflakes. Beautiful for on the season table, made this one for the antroposofic kindergarden.
The king is about 22 cm high. He has a head and hands from cotton fabric and wool, a felt dress and crown with embroidery. And a staff from wool with felt snowflakes and a bead.
Snowflakes… made from wool by needle felting. Afterwards added more detail by sewing. On a golden string with beads… nice on a winter mobile.
Slowly the winter is approaching. During the last workshop for parents at the antroposofic kindergarden I taught the parents the technique of wet felting. Each made a base made of wool for a season landscape. After making the base by wet felting I added details to my winter landscape by dry felting and added some beads with thread and needle. In the morning when my daugther woke up we enjoyed ourselves making up stories looking at the landscape.
Winter evening. Wool season landscape made by wet felting, dry felting and embroidery. Size 42x26cm.
Loads of beautiful acorn caps on the ground… and they have a very special shape here with spikes! We collected a bag full and with felt balls and some golden string made this autumn garland.
I will start giving workshops in Eilat where you will learn how to make a wool fairy yourself. In the 2 hour workshop I will explain about the materials, show you the technique of dry felting and you will make a fairy yourself under my guidance. After the workshop you will have learned all the tools to get started yourself.
