Little Elvish People

Last Project

My helpers are going home tomorrow, so we have been working hard to finish their final project (and fun stuff like decimals and possessives). Before I went on my trip they each sculpted a head for a small figure. This week we got them painted, and made bodies and hair and clothes and accessories.

The heads are paper clay. The hair is silk roving. The clothes are silk, flannel, felt, laces, and what we dug out of my boxes.

Hundreds of tiny hand stitches made these outfits. 

Evelyn’s 

Katrina’s 

Note the boots.

Now they head off to their new home.

And around all that my Heinzelmädchens were a great help in putting up Christmas decorations.

Best wishes with yours.
