What will you find if you visit the woods today?
No bears here, but there maybe foxes, badgers, mice and the odd fairy fluttering about.....but you'll have to be very patient to see those...they're quite illusive, but watch this space!
In the meantime, the toadstool collection is popping up around the place, with the odd snail hitching a ride!

Miniature Toadstools
Here are the smallest of the collection. They can be put on a key-ring, brooch pin or lobster clip or simply hang from a ribbon. The spots can either be made from felt (pictured) or using white sequins, and unlike my other items they are double sided, the front is distinguished by the addition of the felt grass blades, which adorn all the toadstools. You can therefore have your mini toadstool facing in either direction, or why not buy a pair, such as these pictured, where they mirror each other and look really lovely hanging side by side. They make lovely gifts. When stock is available it will appear in the shop (coming soon!!)
Large Toadstool
The larger toadstools are just a bigger version of the small ones and can be made in the same way. They are too big to be put onto anything other than a hanging ribbon but look lovely hung on the wall. A Really unusual gift! When ordering let me know what colour ribbon you would like. The lower part of the mushroom shade will vary depending on the felt I have in stock, but it is normally off white or Ivory on the stem and the spots are made from felt or can be sequins. When available they will be included in the shop. (coming soon!!)
Snail on a Toadstool
Inspired by a photograph I saw shared on Facebook one day of a snail sliding over a mushroom, I thought it was a beautiful image and decided to try making a snail to go on my Toadstools. This was the result!!
They are the same size as the Large Toadstools, with the addition of a snail. The snail has pose-able antennae, they are made from jewellery wire with a bead for the eye and wrapped in embroidery thread. The snails may vary or undergo an update in future makes so keep an eye out in the shop when they become available. (coming soon!!)
