I went on a foraging mission in a local wood and found lots of sticks and moss & things that I thought would come in useful. The whole idea for this mobile came when I used some of the sticks & twigs to make a miniature broom, using my glue gun to hold them all together & wrapping with wool to give the effect of a broom.

I got my daughter to help me to wet felt a flat piece using autumn colours & once it was dry I cut out different leaf shapes.

I then needle felted an Autumn Pixie & gave her awesome multi coloured hair!! I then attached all these pieces, along with some brown coloured beads to a branch using clear string.

This is currently hanging in my living room window, but I think I may add some more leaves as it looks a bit sparse.
