My children love playing with their playscapes. I’ve made each of them a few. Watching (or hearing) them playing in their felted woodland mossyness is a true delight for me… and well worth the time it takes me to put them together. They nurture such wonderful imaginative play with their tree stumps and flowers and […]

I've been wanting to make a Mother Earth figure for our Nature Table for some time now. We have some bendy little wooden people who often play there and at times one of them stands in for this universal figure but a larger, softer felted woman is what I have been picturing there in my mind's eye. I wanted her to be needle felted. Felting, in case you're not familiar with it, is the process of binding together the microscopically barbed fibers of wool (or other natural fibers) into a solid mass. There are several methods to accomplish this irreversible process of making solid fabric from individual hairs. The more common is wet felting in which simple friction and water (sometimes alternating hot and cold) are applied to swell, intertwine, bind and "full" a jumble of strands together. For this doll though, I used the dry felting method and a single, very sharp, barbed needle that, when pushed through various layers, catches the fibers and entangles them into the chosen shape. This method is a little like sculpting with a pin. The fibers stay in place and become more and more solid the more times the needle is poked through a single spot. This Mother Earth was surprisingly easy to put together using small scraps of wool roving I had on hand and simple needle felting techniques. I started off with an armature of pipe cleaners molded into a basic skirted person shape (using an existing doll the size I desired as a proportion model). Then white wool roving was rolled into a ball and tucked inside the head frame and a cone shape tucked inside the skirt. Wrapped around that ball head, cone skirt and arms were thin, wispy strands of the same roving until the doll shape was in place. This was then held gently in place by minimal poking with the felting needle. (I also placed a jar lid inside of the base of the doll to give her some weight and stability at her feet. In the past I have used flat stones or bits of metal for this same purpose.) The underdress was a layer of blue roving wound around in wisps in the same fashion to the body. The hands and head were left white. I had some long stranded brown roving which I laid on in one piece for the hair. It's mostly held on at the hair part where I needled quite a bit. The main portions of the head were not needled as much so that the look of loose hair could be retained. For the apron, belt and hair garland, I laid strands of wool roving onto the felting pad and shaped each item before then needling them onto the doll. The whole project took only about two hours. The bulk of that was just spent methodically needling the entire doll many times over until the layers compacted to the smoothness and density I desired. I wanted Naiya to be able to handle and play with her so she's a fairly solid doll.

Latest needle felted project - still trying to think up ideas that can be used for classes on CraftEdu. Haven't had as much time recently to work. Between my son's college schedule (and I have to drive him there), taking care of Jack and beasties and it just being very cold, I haven't had a lot of time to work as I like.

Waldorf Felt Play Mat Playmat Wet Felted Playscape Landscape Montessori Tree Stump Gift Kids Child Ecofriendly Storytelling Trunk Wool This is a Waldorf and nature inspired play mat, playscape, landscape with an enchanted pond and stream, trunk, flowers and pebbles. It improves childrens' imagination and fine motor skills, great for story telling and open ended play. The animals can hid and sleep in the cave and in the trunk. The price includes the felted play mat. You can buy felted animals, gnomes, fairies in my other listings. Not suitable for children who may swallow small items. TECHNIQUE: I used the wet felt technique to create it, which results a strong, durable play mat which you can wash also in the washing machine. The material of the play-mat is 100% natural, it is wool (natural or dyed). I use only my hands, water and soap for this process. Wet felting technique is an ancient art craft where natural wool, water and soap are used to create a unique and durable fabric. Small flowers are embroidered by hand on the ground, around the tree and the cave. DIMENSIONS of this large landscape: 55 x 42 cm / 22" x 17" Height of the tree trunk and the cave: about 9 cm / 3,5" The PHOTOS shows a variety of play-mats I have made. I am happy to create similar play-mats for you although that one will be not exactly the same, as every 3D landscape is unique due to the small differences (embroidery, small felted flowers, color of the wool yarns I use, shades of the greens etc). THIS PLAY MAT IS SOLD! I can make a similar one in 7 workdays. I ship it rolled, in a hand-sewn bag. DELIVERY: Always As-Soon-As-Possible dispatch, as priority postal mail. We always send tracking number in the shipping confirmation. You can choose the FedEx Upgrade which guarantees very fast delivery: in 1-2 business days in EU and 2-3 business days in the USA/non EU. CARE: Clean by hand in lukewarm water with some soap, dry it in the air. Never use spin or drying machine for this product. In case of big stains you can use wash it in a washing machine but only the at the delicate wool program. Dry it flat, adjust the 3D element back into the original form while it is wet. Can be ironed through a wet cotton fabric.

Comme chaque année, à la porte de la sombre saison, nous emmènerons nos enfants faire une promenade aux lanternes ! Cette année ce sera le lundi 10 novembre à Angoulême ou tout proche Dans un monde où la modernité semble nous avoir fait oublier notre appartenance à la Terre, où le mode de vie fait un écran opaque entre les rythmes de la Nature et nous, où l'absence de sens profond à la Vie nous abîme, il nous paraît crucial de créer et de revitaliser les "passages" : ces moments de l'année où l'énergie de la Nature change d'un état vers un autre. Les trésors glanés dans les sentiers, les paysages métamorphosés de l'automne, les jours qui raccourcissent, les parfums envoûtants de l'humus... tout chuchote à l'oreille des enfants que le temps magique approche : La balade aux lanternes ouvre en effet la voie à ces temps où la nuit se déploie, où le froid nous maintient au dedans, où la Nature semble n'être plus que transparence et silence ... des temps qui nous invite -après la légèreté d'être de l'été- à contacter d'avantage notre intériorité, à ressentir la profondeur des choses, ralentir, attendre, contempler, juste être ensemble... Déjà, les petites mains s'affairent autour des papiers de soie aux lumineuses couleurs, des bocaux en verre qui recevront des formes découpées, des ballons enduits de colle qui, une fois démoulés, offriront de magnifiques lampions tout ronds ! Les vacances de la Toussaint seront toutes occupées de ces joyeux bricolages ! Le jour de la balade, dès le matin avec les enfants , nous ferons une patte pour cuire des petits pains ronds dans lesquels nous glisseront des raisins secs, des noisettes, amandes ou noix. Puis nous ferons chauffer du jus de pomme dans lequel nous ferons infuser des épices : de la cannelle, quelques clous de girofle, des gousses de cardamomes... Puis ce sera le moment de préparer le départ, vérifier les bougies dans chaque lampion, se vêtir chaudement, bonnet, bottes..... et des chants doux sur les lèvres, nous allumerons nos lanternes et marcherons dans la nuit.... ! Si vous avez envie de vous joindre à nous, veuillez nous contacter : Marie : 06 22 24 54 54 Nous vous communiquerons alors le lieu et l'heure du rendez-vous !
