She's a little out of her environment on this Christmas mat!
Demelza stands about 8" tall. Needle felted wool on an acrylic felt base, embellished with embroidery and buttons. Strong and sturdy - polyester filling and weighted at the base with sachet of lead shot. Her face was outlined in black pen, coloured with pencils with stitching for eyebrows and nose.
Inspiration came from an article by Sarah Lawrence, titled "Soulful Divas" in the (June/July?) issue of Spotlight's online Get Creative magazine. I used the template and one of the face designs.
