Another Boy's Forest

Having fallen in love with Finn's Forest, one of Meg's readers asked me to make something similar for her Tavi.
This hoop is on its way to Switzerland--I wish I could go all the places my feltscapes have flown: Brazil, Australia, England. I am, vicariously, quite the world traveler.
Personally, I'm off to King of the Roll. I will be eating sweet potato maki, but I'll be thinking of you. ;-)

P.S. That fat rabbit is cracking me up.

Makes me ache for a forest walk... a search for fat bunnies.

Thanks, everyone! And Alyssa--the linen is a very dark blue, but it does almost look black in the photos.

So very charming. I love the owl. And the fat rabbit, of course. I love these scenes.
