Wild Things at Fiber Camp!

Pink Turtle

There were wild things happening at Fiber Camp today! This was the first of two sessions I'll be teaching for The Art League School this summer.

Blue Cat

Campers made chenille stem (pipe cleaner) animal skeletons and stuffed them with cotton batting.

Rainbow Rabbit
They then wrapped their animals in gauze.

Red Horse
Blue and Pink Panda
 And finally wrapped them with colorful fabric strips and yarn.

Yellow Giraffe

Cheetah

Glass beads or googly eyes were the finishing touch.


Red Rabbit
Rainbow Dog on Leash

 What a great bunch of Wild Things!

    1. Aren't they fun! Once the eyes are glued in place, it's amazing to see how the children begin to interact with their creations.

  2. How charming these are! I especially like the giraffes and the slightly anarchic rainbow dog on a leash - though it's really very hard to choose a favourite.

    1. I just had to laugh when I saw that the dog had a leash!
