Item details

Meet Audrey Buttercup. She is a delicately fun little Weasel, and everywhere she scampers, golden Buttercups are seeded. Audrey loves the sun and children. She encourages them to have fun in fields of Golden Flowers, and brings joy to their hearts with her Old Wives Tale, that if a buttercup shines under your chin you must love butter! She knows the real reason for this tale is to impart the joy of nature to young minds...

Audrey is made using Spiral work Crochet (Amigurumi). I have developed the technique of making my Soft Sculpture out of (mainly) one piece, which involves a lot of trial and error! Audrey is made from cotton 4ply yarn, with Poly Toy Stuffing. She has been embellished with crochet buttercups, beads and embroidery. Audrey is securely mounted on a wood slice. As with all my "Forrest Folk" she is not a Toy, so needs to be displayed out of the reach of children, however, she would be perfect for a Nursery room gift. She would also make an adorable gift for the Nature Lover or Conservationist in your life!

Audrey Buttercup is part of a Collection of "Forrest Folk" British Wildlife that I am making. I hope to raise awareness of our Beautiful Flora and Fauna with my work, and inspire others to look at the Natural World around us with the innocent eyes of a child once more, so that we may be reminded of the importance that all creatures play in our environment.

As I make each piece, the character emerges, and in my imagination I give them a Story and a Job in the Forrest Folk world. I draw on inspiration from the plants and flowers I see around me, and read in books, as well as some Native Folklore and my own made up Folklore!

Promoting our Beautiful British Wildlife and the need to conserve it, is at the heart of my creations, and I hope that my Pieces will inspire Childlike Wonder and Joy.
