Hansel and Gretel, Needle Felted Fairy Tales

Inspired by the classic fairytale, this sculpture depicts Hansel and Gretel, lost deep in the forest and discovering the mouth watering cottage made from gingerbread and sugar candies. They are so, so hungry and are just going to have a sweetie feast when who should step around the corner of the cottage?, you've guessed....the wicked witch. If you know the story, then you will know what the wicked witch intends to do with Hansel and Gretel. If you don't know the story then I will say no more as I wouldn't like to spoil the ending for you!!!!!!!!!!


'HANSEL and GRETEL discover THE SUGAR CANDY COTTAGE deep in the FOREST of THE WICKED WITCH'


I have used both traditional wet and dry felting techniques, (using only 1 needle) and handblended my wools in a wide variety of colours.

The free standing sugar candy cottage is encrusted with luscious goodies

New Needle Felted Spring Scenes


SPRINGTIME ...A BLUEBELL PIXIE sitting on an OLD TREE STUMP in the BLUEBELL WOODS and singing to his FRIENDS



I have created this Springtime scene using both soft and firm needle felting techniques and hand blended a wide variety of lovely bright spring colours to bring to you a cheerful sculpture.

The tree stump is fixed to the base, as is the pixie, he does have wired arms and legs so can be gently posed into different sitting positions. Here he has his legs crossed and in his arms he is carrying a lovely bunch of bluebells.

There are also a mummy and baby hedgehog and 3 tiny ladybirds who are listening to Blue, the pixie, singing his merry songs.





I have created this Springtime scene using both soft and firm needle felting techniques and hand blended a wide variety of lovely bright spring colours to bring to you a cheerful sculpture of four baby ducklings who have lost their Mummy. I think they will find her in the water don't you?
