The Pathfinder is 19″ / 48cm tall and stands with the aid of a hawthorn staff. She’s created with a wire armature and layers of wool, needle-felted to create a firm body. Her clothes are mainly wet-felted. Her hair is an acrylic yarn and odd beads, and other items are used as embellishments. I also use chalks, paints, false eyelashes, and various beads and other items for accessories.
Although she has a wire armature, it is not recommended to bend the arms and legs (except for making minor adjustments to her stance) as this weakens the wire.
It is not a toy and should not be given to children (I’ve seen what they do to felted folk – it’s not pretty).
Her quiet and considered appraisal of all she sees before her makes her an excellent guide and ‘pathfinder’. I’m sure she’s ready to share her knowledge…
