blueberry child

It's June and that means blueberry season! I was inspired by Elsa Beskow's fabulous blueberry boys in her story, "Peter in Blueberry Land", when I created this blueberry child.

 

This needle felted blueberry child would be happy to adorn a Summer nature table or become a character in a story.

 

Standing just over 5" (12.7 cm) tall he was constructed entirely of cleaned carded wool that I sculpted using a felting needle and needle felting techniques. All of the wool was either natural (undyed) wool or wool that I personally hand dyed using food grade dyes.
