I love instagram, a LOT. Especially when I get to see the weird, wonderful stuff my friends find. I was extra excited when one of my best friends, Dana, posted this amazing picture!
Dana used to live with us, and I miss her all the time since she moved to Knoxville. She came to Nashville to visit earlier this week, and brought me these amazing felt board pieces! I LOVE them!
Here is a close up of that pouty kid, he is about a foot tall! There are multiple layers of felt for a lot of them, and then the details seem to be hand painted and printed!
I love the painted hair. This guy might be my favorite.
A few more heads.
Those are bad-ass amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI! LOVE! THESE! WOW! And what's more, I remember having some figures in this style in my kindergarten classroom (I was there in the early nineties', but the not-nearly-as-elegant-and-detailed pieces must have been from the early 70's) we would use to create tableaux for story-time activities. You should mount them on some kind of black construction paper and create little scenes with them, how neat would that look with the rest of your collections? Again, just wow.
ReplyDeleteThose things are so cool! Felt figures are neat. Very 1950s classrom which I love. I took some of my husband aunt's old teaching supplies and sadly she had none of these but cool old books, like Dick and Jane readers

The detailing in the hair is pretty awesome
ReplyDeleteI've never seen those before. They are so lovely and detailed, great find Dana!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cool! Love them.
ReplyDeletep.s. You should totally make your own felt board for cheap and then you can set up little scenarios with them.
ReplyDeleteyou need to mount them on something sturdy and hang them all over the house!
ReplyDeleteCome on, there's nothing weird about these. The BEST stuff EVER.
ReplyDeleteThe details on these are amazing. I remember them from kindergarten too.

What a lovely gift! These are amazing, so much work has gone into these!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen or thought about felt boards for probably twenty years! BUT now I've got big plans for a homemade one for Gus. Thanks for the idea!! I'm so excited, it's kind of ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI especially love the little devil
ReplyDeleteI love all those detachable heads with rosacea!
