Handmade Irish Fairy

This little Fairy measures about 4" tall and is attached to a disk that I painted green and covered in moss. Her top is kelly green wool felt with a light green wool felt appliqued shamrock. The embroidery is done in green thread. Her sleeves are edged in green seed beads. She has a handpainted face with apple green wool roving hair and an acorn cap on her her head. Her skirt is 7 layers of silk flowers. She is holding a grapevine wreath decorated with Shamrocks.

My Fairies, Gnomes and Mossie are derived from Salley Mavor's incredible book "Felt Wee Folk: Enchanting Projects".
