Weekly summary

This week was fruitful, I made a garland of waxed autumn leaves and fruit

One of the leaves was torn away, so I hung a felted leaf kid there

I decorated my seasons branch (waxed leaves and fruit again)

I made a door wreath, using autumn fruit, cones and a felted fairy (made in summer)

And finally I made a fox. It's so sweet :-)

Autumn brooch

The first and best Waldorf teacher I know has birthday sometime in October (not sure when). I made this brooch for her.

The colours I used:

Garland of waxed autumn leaves and a door wreath

I came across a tutorial of making waxed leaves and was so inspired. I always loved gathering beautiful autumn leaves but it was pity to see how they were curling and fading. Waxing leaves prevents them from drying and fading. Waxed leaves stay flexible and bright (well, not as bright as they are 'fresh' but definitely brighter than dried), they can be used for appliques and garlands. They hardest part is not to gather all beautiful leaves you see, I want them all!
That's my 'four seasons' branch of hazelnut tree. In the end of October I finally decorated it!

Decorated windows and glass door.

I still had some tiny cones and berries left, so I finally did the autumn door wreath!
