snow folk

Snow folk have been cropping up under the poplar and pine.
Each is made of felted wool balls in three sizes that I sewed to a wooden button (gifted to me by Cheryl at handcrafted travellers).  Their little arms are tendrils from a Virginia Creeper vine and their hats are acorn caps.

I liked how they each had a different posture when I sewed them together so I didn't bother to needle them together.  Their noses and faces, yes, their posture, no.  Each one was so different that I felt they needed to have a little photo session.


Clearly I need to get out more.

These are headed off to some friends and I hope they get a giggle out of them too.  

Happy almost-weekend, everyone!

  5. You have just killed me with all the cuteness, my friend. You always bring that magic touch that makes us forget about all the sad, tough or heavy things in our lives !
    You could have almost made ornaments out of them, I would have a whole tree decorated with them !!!
