Now that Christmas is over I can post pictures of some of the gifts I made for Christmas. Here are a couple of little flower faeries, all made with naturally dyed wool. I also made a Japanese indigo little being but forgot to take her picture.
And a little gnome.
An eco-dyed bag with cards inside.
And the eco-dyed cards.
Books have long been special to me. When we were two my mother took us to the library, got us our own library card and taught us the proper care of books. I was lucky enough to have a story every night before I went to bed. I still have the book I wrote and illustrated about our dachshund Siegfried when I was seven.
Now I'm working on a small book of fairies.
I live near a place which is achildrens' camp during the summer and a Waldorf school for the rest of the year. On the edge of the playground there's a forested area where the creek runs through. I'm sure there are fairies there.
I love making little bags out of bits of leftover handspun and scaps of cloth. This is my Summer Sunshine bag, knitted with handspun wool/kid mohair blend during the dark, rainy days of our West Coast winter.
