Mistle Mohair Mouse

 

Little Mistle is dressed in a wonderful aquamarine German print with spring nests and feather, it is so lovely and came from @elmhirstfabrics
I am thoroughly enjoying my mohair mice at the moment, exploring the mohair and learning so much.
This little mouse has tiger's eye to her heart with rosemary in her stuffing for a gentle scent. Tiny buttons, organza ribbon and a sampler sachet are amoung the details of this little mouse.

Have a lovely weekend and my warmest wishes to everyone xx

Fairy Elderberry

 

I have been working on three tiny Faeries with a new pattern. Still my style but much slimmer with longer legs and shorter dresses. Each has a pair of little fairy antenna and wings to match their underskirts. Only eight inches tall they still have crystals to their heart and herbs in their stuffing.

This little girl is Fairy Elderberry - their look is inspired by Aubrey Beardsley, Alison Goldfrapp and Crystal Tipps form Crystal Tipps and Alistair!

The litte fay are in the shop and I will be making more. Just love all their tiny details, each one is holding an embroidered felt flower and has a sampler sachet. Working the striped fabric of the legs longways really lengthens the appearance of the legs. They are slightly slimmer than the Fairy Godmother but just the same length. The slimmer form, shorter dress and long stripe really creates a different look.

Coamo, A Fairy GodMother Doll

 

I have discovered the most wonderful fabric. Sold in UK by Elmhirst Fabric, these prints by Daniela Drescher are just so wonderful to work with. Such lovely quality you can work with such tiny pattern pieces and they hold their integrity. Lovely ladies to buy from and you can tell I am smitten.

Coamo, french for cosmos is dressed in Perenniel Love with wild flowers and tiny critters abounding. She has amethyst to her heart with lavender in her stuffing. A joy to make, I loved every bit of her.

Finished with a tiny sampler and silver acorn charm her dress is filled with flowers. Coamo is a little fairy godmother doll with a tiny felt wand and a silver colours tiarra to her bright pink hair.

Primrose, A Spring Fairy Godmother

 

Primrose is dressed in a yellow colourway of Betsy Ann by Liberty with soft pink hair that picks up the pink in the dress. She has citrine to her heart and chamomile to her stuffing for a gentle fragrance. Teamed with butter yellow cotton and white tulle lace she has a gentle colour palette. Her shoes are yellow and she has a little flower wand, she is finished with a sampler sachet and tiny buttoned wings. Primrose seems to be a very calm fairy godmother, with a gentle face and a serene nature. A lovely companion in soft spring colours.

Just a tiny detail of the stitch work on one of the pieces for the Platform Gallery Open Call. Applications up to the 17th March for a summer Craft Open.

My pieces are Chamomile, a little harvest mouse with chamomile in her stuffing and citrine to her heart, embroidered with chamomile flowers to her dress. Similarly there is a rose bunny with rose quartz and a lavender fox with amethyst.

Heavily embroidered they were a joy to make but we will have to see if they get in!
