A little forest

And some new bendy friends! A little bit of indoor springtime for them- just some quick cuts in .5″ poplar for the fir trees and flowering bushes, and a thicker 1.5″ pine for the bridge. If I get around to it, a little felt playmat with a river would be a nice addition- and I’ll definitely make a few more natural objects (more trees, a fallen log, cave?).

Pinkie is the beginning of a rainbow set of girls- yellow and green just need hair, and orange, purple, blue and red are all in need of heads at the moment.

And the first winged fairy. I don’t know why I didn’t take a photo of her wings- they were a lot of hand embroidery work with a pesky iridescent floss!

I was going to leave her head without any hat, but, her hair just wasn’t laying down nicely, so I plunked a big flower on top. I like it- I think any future fairies will get flower hats, too.

And oh, I make stuff for my son sometimes, too.

Actually, WE made this one- I cut out the slingshot, he drilled the holes (with my immediate supervision) using our drill press, and he gets all the credit for the paint job and color choices. 

Made by Joel inspired this one- and his little folded paper arrows work great without being obscenely dangerous. Fun!
