I just couldn't let it go. I spent hours on line looking for Faeries, Gnomes Goblins etc that weren't Disney or all T&A.
Finally found a couple and reduced the pictures down to about 2 inches.
The Faerie, high in the tree is FM stitched over a black line ink drawing on wash away stabilizer covered with black netting. So all that remains is the stitching on the netting. This was anchored using a dark mono filament that served to give some depth in the form of a slight shadow.
The second at the bottom on the forest and hiding in the furled tree roots is a Goblin or Hob. Everything but his eyes blends in. He was needle felted but left really fuzzy. He's had a dose of hair spray and after it dries I'll trim some detail into his face. ie. ears.
Here's my inspiration and their doubles.
The Faerie was easier than the Goblin.
Here was my inspiration.
And here is my version embedded in the tree. (Ears need a little more definition.)
