This is the second project I submitted to the adjudication panel for the Fine Arts Show in Sidney. I will find out on or before Wednesday if this and “The Fool” will be accepted to the show in October.
“The Storyteller” is a woodland scene with the main character being the Fairy who comes to read to the woodland creatures and little fairies that live there. All the characters are needle felted, while the fairies are made with polymer clay. The moss in the center area is from my yard where it’s growing on a large stump tucked in a corner. The other green and purple mosses are purchased. I’ve included all the mushrooms and grasses that I made from polymer clay.
There are books, a lantern, a few little bits and pieces here and there. The base is covered in felt to protect a table top. The wood is cut from logs in our woodpile and I’ve pieced them all together to attempt the look of a little meeting place for everyone that comes to see the Fairy and listen to her stories.
The pictures below of the base are before I added to it with more circles to make it a bit wider and longer. The size of the base is approximately 21” long, by 13” deep and 13” tall. It stands about 2” from the table top.
This is where I was organizing what should go where and is the larger version of the base.
This is finished Diorama
And now for the closeups. ;o) The fairies and creatures are very attentive to the storyteller and sit quietly as she reads to them. Do they understand what she’s saying, well maybe not, but they seem to like her being there.
Scattered around the fairies and creatures, are acorn tops, nuts and mushrooms, lichens and even a pond.
