In the Small Small Pond

I volunteer at the Surrey Nature Centre and they asked me to do a felt story of the book "In the Small Small Pond" by Denise Fleming. I had a lot of things on the go but I'm horrible at saying no so I did it.
At first I researched other felt versions of it and didn't like what I saw. I think the felt story should look as close to the book as possible so that is what I tried to do with this.

It's obviously all done with felt and hand painted. I think my favourites are the turtles and the swallow. Not pictured is a Raccoon because I ran out of brown felt. Also right after I took the picture I fixed the heron's legs because they looked too plain.

Also pictured is my finished before-dance-dinner.
