mandala Wednesday ... and a new family member

Tonight was the last time 

we came together with our mandala group for this season

(in September we begin anew)

It was the last time for the four elements :

fire, earth, air and water,

all together in one person

(don't know where the aurora borealis "came from" but I like it)

Earlier today arrived a rather B I G envelope !

In it, was a wonderful new member 

for my "felted family" !!!

This clever, perhaps a bit impertinent, but als lovely fellow

is made by my dear blogging-friend Gabi !

She really makes the most wonderful felted animals

(that's where I learned to make mine  ;-)  !)

As soon as I saw this fox some days ago 

I knew he had to come over to me.
I'm glad he arrived safe and sound

I lóve the little polymer clay feather
that Gabi attatched to his dungarees.
It has delicate stripes and is a little gem !

Thanks again Gabi, we'll make him feel at home !
