| King Winter |
Even though the frenzy of the holidays have come and gone, we continue celebrating the seasons with a seasonal nature table. For several years I've meant to make "King Winter" and this winter I finally got around to it (that feels good!). I used the instructions in
The Nature Corner by Leeuwen & Moeskops for guidance. My process:
- I began with a wood and wire bendy doll form
- Needle felted around the body to give him some shape and soften him up a bit
- Glued on curly wool for his beard, mustache & hair
- Drew on eyes & mouth
- Sewed robe from blue velour & cloak from white silk (a scrap from my wedding dress)
- Attached clothing
- Made a scepter from a skewer & aluminum foil
- Cut out a crown from glittery card stock
