Pondering

A small applique project for moi, a phone pouch, depicting Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden in a rowing boat.

These little creatured are deceptively simple - the designs are very well executed.
Tove Jansson died not long back but the strength of the characters and her designs still hold. For the more recent publications for young children from Puffin, the colour pallet is delightful. Both my boys (2&6yrs old) absolutely love them. I am looking forward to reading the original books to my eldest very soon.

But as far as this project goes, its a case of bringing together what felt scraps and colourful embroidery thread I have and seeing if I can do the little design justice.

I'm blocking colours at this stage, to see if my adapted pallet works and how well the felt will work as a material for the whole project.
