This was the woodland wonderland I built to greet the girls ready for Autumn. It lasted as it was for 20 minutes then I was asked "Mummy.... is it OK if I move some of the things?" I answered that of course it was so she set to work. She was talking to herself and I moved a bit closer to hear "Such a mess, all these leaves everywhere, I must tidy this up". It made me smile!
This is Faith intent on adding a face to her twig person. We made these people by taking short lengths of branch about 1/2" thick and whittling a flat section off for the face. We then cut clothes from scraps of fabric and secured them to the twigs by 'ruching' them up around the twig and putting an elastic band around a few times to hold the fabric before tying ribbon around to hide the elastic. We made them in Autumnal colours of oranges, browns, greens, yellows, reds and pinks. The girls were enraptured with this and spent an hour and a half creating people!
This is the completed Woodland King surveying his Kingdom!!!
Love this!
