I finally finished a birthday present I've been working on for a while. It's a mobile for my friend Metthea to hang in her "apartment." She lives in the upstairs loft of a building that used to be a hog barn. It's absolutely adorable and it's out in the country. It took me almost a year from conception to completion of this project, but I think it will be perfect hanging over the stairs in her space.
I used a combination of patterns from the books "Woodlands: small toys to sew, vol. 2" by Teresa Levy, and "Softies: simple instructions for 25 plush pals" by Therese Laskey. The materials are felt, embroidery thread, wire, fishing line, and found natural objects.
**materials and prep**
**sticks, pine cones, redwood cones, douglas fir cones, magnolia seed cones, and feathers**
**summer tree**
**fall tree**
**winter tree**
**spring tree**
**oak leaves (I added a little gall on one of the leaves, neeeeeerd aleeeert)**
**acorn**
I'm so happy it's finished and she loves it!
