Hello Wonder Weavers,
I hope you're enjoying a peaceful week. There is a lot happening in the world at the moment and I'm grateful for my creativity, which helps me cultivate inner peace. I have been exploring spun cotton miniatures of late and I have been taking some wonderful tutorials on YouTube. A big thank to Rosanna from Rosanna Makes for sharing your expertise and knowledge. In this video, I share my first attempts at making animal miniatures with cotton balls. As you will see, nothing is perfect but I hope by sharing my art, flaws and all, I will inspire you to play and create - and try something brand new!
If you would like to learn how to make miniatures with spun cotton, I recommend you visit Rosanna's channel:
