holiday nature ornaments with deer and butterfly

December 20, 2009 in craft, holiday, nature

another in a long series of deer-obsession pieces…a project for a snowy afternoon in Vermont: holiday nature ornaments.  these look pretty nice even though they’re plastic and not glass.   I used some scrap sheepskin but cotton batting would work too.  Craft foliage and random little animals are so cute — if I had more globes I would put in some acorns and whatnot.

holiday craft with trees and deer

December 14, 2009 in craft, decor, nature, sculpture

i’ve been saving these cardboard craft cones…now i know why.
i took a lot of leftover scraps of yarn, buttons, velvet, beads and lace and glue gunned them onto the trees.  they sit like a tiny mighty forest on top of my piano.

craft cones covered in yarn, beads, glitter, etc.

plush wool owl project

December 9, 2009 in craft, nature

so here’s a little guy (about 12″ x 8″) I made from some old wool skirts, a piece of rust colored velvet, and upholstery pattern scraps for my friend kate sprout for her 17th birthday.  All materials came from the ReSTORE in Barre, Vermont.
