A French Chateau
Needle felted for
for Gabrielle
with love
Bonjour! My name is Gabrielle
Please allow me to show you around the Chateau.
While in Paris, I came upon a beautiful black boot.. So very soft, it must be made of wool. It was just standing there on the cobblestone sidewalk. Not a human in sight. Not many mice would have thought to turn a boot into a French Chateau, but I did...
A little work here, a little window there... Awnings to put up, turquoise and black stripes, this would be nice, don't you think?
This little fellow in the window is Jock.. He will be assisting me in the remodel.. He is quite handy indeed... Being very tiny, he is fast as can be.. Did a nice job installing new rivets, and has completed the windows.. Marvelous work, no? Now I ask you, what mouse come to work in a jacket and tie?
Wait, I will ask him to come down.
There you are Jock! Please say hello to everyone...
Then I am afraid we must get back to work.
I must say
I love you poke a dot tie....
Bonjour ... Tellement agréable de vous rencontrer.
Jock, please stay inside and finish the upstairs... I will stand down here and see if I can find another tiny tourist to secure the last room in the chateau..
Merci !
Hello dear friends.
I feel like I have been away forever.. I am looking forward to visiting everyone.. I have missed you all.
I hope you enjoyed viewing.. I started this boot Chateau about a month ago...Although it was quite a challenge, I really enjoyed creating it. Needle felted in sections, then I attached the pieces.
The boot is hollow down to the bottom window, then it becomes solid.. I did not have a plan, I just started felting... The inside at the very top is lined with black felt. The awnings are also needle felted.. The rivets are metal, the boot laces are cording.
Measurements: Boot 9 1/2" tall
Gabrielle 3" tall
Jock 2 1/2" tall
I hope you will stop in to see the completion... I need one more mouse, and must do some refinement on the Chateau..
Thank you so much for your visit.
blessings,
Penny
