The lovely people at Lark Books are publishing a follow-up to their Christmas craft book Fa la la la Felt.
A version of my popular butterfly mobile for a baby shower:
Heart baubles for Valentine's Day:
Lavender "teabags" for Mother's Day:
Manly moustaches for Father's Day:
Plus a pirate eyepatch and parrot for Talk Like a Pirate Day:
... which also includes instructions for making a half-size parrot to wear as a brooch:
I can't wait to see a copy of the finished book, and to see everyone else's projects.
It's called Heart-Felt Holidays and it contains "40 charming projects for Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, Mother's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and more."
And it includes SIX whole projects by me. Yay!
Wanna see my projects?

Congrats again! I'm hoping to post a tutorial for my Bon Bon Bunnies soon (this month hopefully) and this book reminded me of that. Love the cake toppers those look really cute ^_^

ReplyDeletewell. I think I'll order on Amanzon as I did for FA LA LA LA FELT. bye marta
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished book when it arrives.
ReplyDeleteTumus - Haha, I don't keep up at all, really! I was working on the projects for this just after I'd finished my own book... I don't think I did much housework etc in those months :D
Hydrangea Girl - the cake toppers are super easy, I promise :)
Congratulations on having SIX projects in one book! Woohooo! It's always exciting to see the book after such a long wait :o)
ReplyDeleteOoh arggghh me hearties! I have a pint size pirate with her name on that parrot for sure. What great projects!
ReplyDeleteLaurraine - it's always so thrilling having work chosen for a book, I was so delighted when Lark selected 6 of my designs for this! The wait between submitting the projects and seeing the finished book just makes it even more exciting :)
ReplyDeleteJaney - thankyou! I don't think I'd ever drawn a parrot before so it was a bit of a challenge, but I'm so pleased with how it turned out!
