Ready to go now after all the testing and preparations.
The crumpetty leaves.
The blue baboon without his flute and the bisky bat.
The orient calf, the golden grouse and the pobble who has no toes, at this point not even any legs!
The owl and the artery squash , both completly bald and the dong with the luminous nose.
All placed ontop of a large piece of prefelt with loops on the reverse side for hanging purposes covered in 4 layers of laid out carded merino and silk. I used the prefelt first , to give a flatter finish.
The piece part way through felting , unfortunately the sunlight on my felting table makes for not such a good photograph , but you can make out the stork and the owl, and the pobble.
The completed felted piece drying on my washing line. Currently there are 16 animals, some still needing lots of stitching to finish them off. The bee is yet to be added , as I decided it was too small to felt.
Next step adding the details .

Wow, this piece is amazing and much bigger than I expected, your grandchild is so lucky to have such a beautiful visual reference to such an imaginative bedtime story. I'm really quite envious :)
