paper & wood

I always meant to put up a Windy doll tutorial, but haven't yet had the time. Luckily la lapin dans la lune has put up a comprehensive clothespin doll tutorial (image detail above from la lapain dans la lune). It's not exactly the same, but it's a good replacement for anyone who wants to make a diorama, and a really nice tuto on its own.

I've pinned it to the windy board, too.

Also, bloesem kids has links to a cute tutorial and source link for making things from honeycomb paper. Image: een nieuw avontuur via bloesem kids. I put more at hundreds & thousands.

Windy School Project - Thank you teachers

At the end of the school year last June, the Kindergarten, grade 1 and 2 class at Charles Dickens Elementary wrote and illustrated this great story book, inspired by the Windy books. The portrait above is of Ray and Cookie, the stars of the story. The kids made all the characters (dolls of kids in the class and the teachers) and made all the presents (from found objects) to give to the teachers at the end of the year.
