I am telling The Snowdrop by Hans Christian Andersen tomorrow to my Waldorf playgroup. Well, I couldn't very well tell the tale without a snowdrop to emerge at the end so I made this little cutie. I will be wrapping it in a brown silk like it is a bulb and it will slowly emerge as I tell the tale. I can't wait!

eta: she is about 3 inches tall.

Its so cute!

I think it was you who wrote once before that you´ve been making needle felted root children, do you have any pictures of these?

Ahh, you really make me feel like I should make sth for myself I´ve been wrapping ducks and ducklings for a swap for 4 hours now and before that I worked on a part of a wedding present and every now and then I try to get in a few rows of knitting (I am making a set for my baby) but nothing for ME....
Sorry I went rambling, dh went to a bachelors party and I am home alone with swollen feet I can´t reach and bellybaby who just can´t leave my appendix scar alone

How cute! I love her

Craft along pretty please??? Or at least a mini tutorial. I would love to make these for Maya.
You guys totally rock at needle felting!

mom2kbeth · 04-01-2005, 12:14 PM

I would love a craft along for her too. I have needle felted a bunch of dolls, but am just pretty much making it up as I go along, so I would love to see how someone else does it "right", lol!

I will see if I can do a craft along this weekend. I want to make some other flower fairies so that will give me motiviation. I don't' know if I do it "right", I just do it my way and it works for me. lol.

oh - and it wasn't me who was doing needle felted root children, though I would like to do it eventually.

Thanks everyone.

I haven't done much needle felting lately so it felt good to get back into it. I am definately going to make more.

Oh, and the story went really well today I think. Jennifer, you were there - what did you think? Its such a sweet story. Definately check it out if you are not familiar with it. http://www.mainlesson.com/display.ph...ory=snow drop
