Tuesday morning, January 21, 2014
Today our craft group started later in the morning because poor Christine has a mishap with her water pipes at home. I was running around with several projects on campus (planning to felt a yurt using raw fleece with the 3rd graders tomorrow) and managed to take only a few photos. Christine showed us how to make needle-felted guardian dolls. Some of us continued working on our Rag Rug Project for our school fundraiser. – Jzin
Making Needle-Felted Guardian Dolls.
Christine Newell taught our craft group how to make needle-felted guardian doll based on Fiona Duthie’s instructions in Living Crafts Magazine Fall 2010 issue.
Fall 2010 Issue of Living Crafts Magazine, featuring “Guardian Dolls” by Fiona Duthie.
Purchase this issue on Living Crafts Magazine’s website.
Here are some symbols and ideas for your guardian doll (exerpt from Fiona Duthie’s tutorial in the literature above)…

Here is Lisa’s Guardian Doll for Love!
She can also be a valentine’s doll, I think.
