Mary Poppins Felt Ornaments

Set of Four Mary Poppins Felt Ornaments

Designed by Kevin Kidney

 

Felt, Wood, Hand-Painted Details.

Released in 2005. Limited Edition of 1500. © Disney

 

Each hand-sewn ornament features a whimsical stylization of one of the different costumes worn by Julie Andrews in the 1964 film: "Jolly Holiday", "Spoonful of Sugar", Mary Poppins' Flying Outfit, and "Chim-Chim-Cheree." The actual movie costumes on which these ornaments are based, were designed by Miss Andrews' then-husband, British stage designer Tony Walton, who received an Academy Award nomination for his costume work.

 

For the ornaments, I enjoyed the design challenge of attempting to create what amounts to a dimensional "Little Golden Book" painting in felt. The finished products had a charm all their own.
