Spun Cotton by Maria Paula

It is summer, the time when I make mushroom folk.

A spotted bunny amongst mushrooms. The finish was experimental and I like the result.

I made this snow scene several years ago. It has been in storage, I was happy to see it again.

The snowman has such a peaceful look. He sits in an old, dark, cabinet. A little (thrifted) holly plate provides a pretty backdrop.

I hope you have a Merry & Bright Holiday.

A spooky vegetable man on his garden grown elephant. A really fun piece!

I am updating my BigCartel store 9/9.

I revisited the boot- this one is fit for a witch.

Mushroom littles. I make these every summer along with a larger variety. This year, for something different, I created a mini class for Spun Cotton School called “logs”. These spun cotton logs make a nice resting spot for larger mushroom folk. With so many logs needed to create the step-by-step demos, I ended up making many more mushrooms than usual.

I had several tubby pumpkin guys and veggie people in need of a log, so ended up making a few extra. I’m officially “logged out”.

There is always next year.

This piece was left in the shop. Most everything else from the shop update sold. I will enjoy it for a week or so, then pack away for 2025. Probably, I was not ready to let it go.

Another spun cotton snowman ornament. Sort of an old timey fellow.

I like to needle felt, too. This guy is in my recent Big Cartel shop drop.

These are spun cotton mitten ornaments. The yellow is Egyptian cotton, the rose mittens are Chinese nettle and the black are dyed & color washed poonies(cotton). I just opened a shop on Big Cartel. I like it so far. My first shop update went really well. It is a blessing to have supportive collectors. These will be in my next update.

We all need more Nature in our lives. This is Dear Deer Girl. Besides fitting the “Nature” theme, she is what I term a “cross over” piece. Cross overs are works falling under two or more holidays.

White witch Black bird. A spun cotton ornament.

This one is quite small at 3.5”.
