Asta and Arne, New Pattern for 2025

 

This is Arne and Asta, two little deer in winter tweeds. A new pattern for 2025. Each little deer is hand detailed with embroidery and a little paint. The huge noses are embroidered with french knots whilst their eyes are painted and then detailed with embroidery.
Each is wearing the palest blue yarn dyed cuffed shirt with a silk cravat. Their waistcoats compliment each other and each carries a leather foraging bag with stout boots to walk on the woods.
I learnt a lot developing this pattern and had to really look at different species of deer to get the look. We don't have many deer in our area and so they are an unknown to me as a sight on my walks. I never realised only female reindeer have antlers and no other doe species does!
Well, we are open, up and running for 2025. The Folksy shop is updated with a collection of winter tweed animals and I have two slots for commissions this month left, should anyone wish. I hope everyone gets off to a great start in 2025 xx
