In this troubling time of virus worry I am staying safe and inside as much as possible. I was contacted by Karen E. Franks, an author, that lives in Bermuda to make wooly critters to bring her children's story characters to life. I gladly accepted the challenge.
Karen's book (Abigail's Dream Adventures) feature a little girl who dreams of wonderful adventures with close friends whenever she falls asleep. The four main characters are:
Abigail
Agatha (french Canadian, red hair, blue eyes)
Pearl (Blonde girl )
Troy (a boy that loves to colour graffiti with crayons)
Here are some illustrations in her story:
I made the four main characters using wool sweaters that I felted in the washing machine and then cut and made into adorable children dressed as animals. I loved the results:
First is Abigail, dressed as a kitten fairy with her pet unicorn, of course:
Next is one of her best friends, Pearl, the little blonde haired girl dressed as a squirrel with her pet kitty:
Next is Agatha, a french Canadian girl with red hair and blue eyes. I dressed her as a frog with her pet dog (her dog is shown in the book as her companion):
Finally, there is Troy, a fun loving, crayon carrying boy dressed as a mischievous monkey:
Troy carries his crayons anywhere he goes and a wee frog tags along with him,
I am happy to report that Karen loved my rendition of her sweet characters and we are waiting for this mess to clear before I send her the sweet darlings.
Stay safe, stay indoors and this too shall pass my friends!
My blog is designed to share my love and enthusiasm for art dolls with family and friends.
