Tulip with Harvest Mouse Livestream Course

Tiny Harvest mice love to rest inside flowers. So cute!  Let's create a gorgeous tulip with a tiny mouse together in a two-day livestream course!

The Tulip with Harvest Mouse Livestream Course is an exciting new online learning format. We'll be working together live on air!

It is as close as possible to a face-to-face workshop format, it involves working together during the broadcast and a lot of communication. I show you from beginning to end the process of creating a tulip and a mouse, and you work with me at the same time. I answer all your questions and help you cope with the work as efficiently as possible.

I give very detailed instructions, so there is nothing to be afraid of. In addition, you will still get the record of the livestream.

This two-day course is special because we are creating different objects - from a naturalistic finger puppet mouse to a beautiful interior tulip. Accordingly we will use a variety of techniques and methods, so the course will be very informative, interesting and dynamic.

The list of necessary materials and tools for this course is bigger than usual, but, nevertheless, everything can be easily found. I describe everything in great detail in the PDF file that you receive right after payment, so that you have time to prepare before the course. 

The tulip is an interesting interior object made with a frame. You can make up a lot of things based on it, and it looks spectacular in any environment.

The mouse in this course is a finger puppet, but as a bonus I will show you how to make a mouse figurine. To make finger puppets, you don't need many materials and tools -  the toy weighs 5 grams of wool only, and of the specific tools you need a ribbed mat from IKEA (or similar), as well as a needle felting needle. These tools must be prepared in advance, but the pleasure of felting is guaranteed! Believe me, I've been felting animals for 11 years, and still enjoy it.

In general, finger toys were originally the actors of the children's home theatre. Children adore them. But adults do not remain indifferent to this tiny sweetness. Most of my friends have similar crumbs in their pockets or desktops for a long time, everyone wants such a gift. After all, we are children inside and we love to play. Even when we play adult games, we need relaxation and good mood. And here these tiny creatures work their best - they make you smile! And you also smile while making them. Felting such toys is a complex art therapy - there is wool, hand work and wonderful animals. Total positive.
