When you have a plethora of sprinkles-fabric swatches, the logical thing to do is make... yellow cupcake toadstool folk with chocolate frosting and rainbow sprinkles. As one does.
these little toadstools just appeared one day almost as if they thought the terrariums looked like a nice place to live. they're so wee and cute...i also loved the way the condensation was sitting on the glass...yup, random.
handmade from felted, repurposed wool sweaters. this soft toadstool stands about 4 1/4" tall and is 4" wide. it is lovingly sewn by both hand and machine and stuffed firm with 100% sheeps wool, and weighted with dried beans.
perfect for a woodland display, nature table or gentle play.
Product of all the rain. Wish there were a way to tell if they're edible. Probably delicious poison.
I made this blanket for my daughter as part of the Monthly Make run by Annie over at the Felt Fairy - thefeltfairyuk.blogspot.com
I put it together from a pattern that the very talented Joanie at Ninimakes was kind enough to email me.
Her lovely blog is:
I made one of these toadstool bookmarks and fell in love with the image...so I made a bunch more!

A hoodoo (also called a tent rock, fairy chimney, and earth pyramid) is a tall, thin spire of rock that protrudes from the bottom of an arid drainage basin or badland. Hoodoos consist of soft sedimentary rock topped by harder, less easily-eroded stone that protects each column from the elements.
They are mainly located in the desert in dry, hot areas. In common usage, the difference between hoodoos and pinnacles or spires is that hoodoos have a variable thickness often described as having a "totem pole-shaped body." A spire, on the other hand, has a smoother profile or uniform thickness that tapers from the ground upward. (Geology purists do note that only a tall formation should be called a hoodoo; any other shape is called a 'hoodoo rock'.)
Hoodoos range in size from that of an average human to heights exceeding a 10-story building. Hoodoo shapes are affected by the erosional patterns of alternating hard and softer rock layers. Minerals deposited within different rock types cause hoodoos to have different colors throughout their height.

For this expression of the "Toadstools" I first thought of doing a pencil sketch and then selective coloration. As it turned out there were just too many lines. It came out looking like a very detailed road map.
I then decided to keep the pencil sketch for the Toadstools and foreground but reduce its opacity by about 50%. Next, the background was a bit too sharp so I applied On One's software application Focalpoint to dampen the background's impact.
ODC Take a Risk
I turned these wooden toadstools on my pole lathe out of some sycamore saplings that I cut down last weekend. We have to remove sycamore from our wood because it is invasive in ancient woodlands, so I took a risk and tried something different with my lathe.
Made these out of spun cotton and also paper mache. dollzandthingz.blogspot.com/2011/03/little-creatures-and-...
