There are fairies at the bottom of my garden. Let me introduce you to princess Poinsettia, she is really one of the dancing fairies but this year she has been chosen as the Christmas princess and she will spend her Christmas right at the top of the fairies tree granting everyones special wishes with a wave of her magic sparkling wand.
She has been created using a soft needle felting technique and a careful blending of wools. Reds and cream for her stylish dress, green and cream for her double wings and golds and red berries for her funky hair. She is very proud of her new green ballet shoes and she loves to sit or just hang about near you.
If you are very lucky she might even grant you a wish and practice her dancing for you. I have placed fine wire in her arms and legs so she is gently poseable and a ribbon loop between her wings.
There is an elf at the bottom of my garden, I think he comes from the nearby woods to watch the fairies practising their dance. His name is Pendleberry and this year he has been chosen as the Christmas elf.
He has to make certain that all the elderly fairy folk are given a tree to decorate for the Christmas celebration. He has been created using a soft needle felting technique and careful blending of wools. Greens for his hat and leggings, browns for his boots, tunic and wings, red for his shirt and copper for his funkyhair.
Pendleberry is ready to make a delivery so he is carrying a tree decorated with a bright sparkly star. He keeps the roots on all of the trees so that after the celebrations he can plant the trees back in to the forest.
