Another product that I've finally made
myself. About three years ago I was in search of something
interesting to put on the pram/baby buggy. I've found some
interesting wooden pram chains, that I finally didn't buy, because I
thought I would easily make one myself. I wanted it to be a bit
different, so I've bought a handful of different pieces in a local craft
shop, like wooden letters, crocheted beads, some metallic drams and
lots of other little things – and never used them. As long as my
little girl was in that pram, or playing under the baby trapeze, I was
thinking of crafting a couple of pieces – chained or not – to
add something "made by me". But each idea turned out to somehow misfit technically
or visually, or conceptually. They didn't feel right and the time
passed.
So this time, working a lot with the
serie „FOREST FRIENDS“, and juggling with their shapes nearly
every day, sketching and re-arranging them constantly to find ideas for new products, I came across revisiting the concept of what I had in mind above, yes, it would be a nice fit for a pram/ baby
bed/ eye-catcher, to place somewhere around a little one.
It's made of fabric, padded with some
wool blend, so that they pop up nicely without being flat. One side
is applique in usual (at the moment) colours for that serie, another
one are solid cottons/linen/linen blend - one colour per animal/bird/flower. So there's visually "busy" side and another one, being more calm.
I've needle felted some beads
to add some interesting visual details and underline the HORIZONTAL arrangement.
It's multi-purpose/ multi-usable as well: this time
I'm presenting it like an eye-catcher. It can decorate a pram, or a
baby bed. It can easily be taken apart and hung VERTICALLY, or put
onto the baby trapeze. Mix the felted beads with animals'
characters, if you make a vertical line – use it to your liking,
and change it often to catch the baby attention anew.
