Persephone, Herman and Bob- Part 5 (Persephone)

Mid-way through felting...


                     ...I begin to notice that some of the silk pieces are not felting in...



                                               ...so with a couple of quick tugs...



                                 ...Persephone is denuded of her problematic bits.

                                   (Too bad it doesn't work like that for humans!) ;)



                                                              During felting...



                                              ...the project is flipped inside-out...



                                                 ...and worked in all directions...



                                          ...until it's the desired shape and size.



                                                   While drying in the sunlight...



                                           ...I think she looks rather devilish!! ;)



                             Small circles are cut from a sheet of black, finished felt...



                                                              ...glued on...



                                           ...and then hand-stitched into place...



                                                               ...for eyes.



                                                   The finished puppet (front)...



                                                              ...and back...



                                                      ...and again in close-up.



                                                    Persephone is now ready...



                                                   ...for a game of 'peek-a-boo'!



                                                         Next time: Bob.

Purple Persephone turned out perfectly - sounds like a tongue twister :) xx

She's gorgeous - although I do foresee for her, years of being dragged around by the horns...
