Jennifer had the pleasure of attending a felted fairytale tapestry workshop at Davis Waldorf School, taught by the wonderful Suzanne Down of Juniper Tree Puppets. Jennifer decided to choose a scene that represents elements of a new pentatonic song that Rick wrote for his first graders. Song words, below (and an audio clip coming, soon!).
Inspiration from Suzanne included looking at felted scenes and also postcards of felted scenes.
After many layers and some extra work at home, the scene is finally finished!
Red, Orange, Yellow, Brown
Music and Lyrics by Rick Tan
Red, orange, yellow, brown
Leaves are tumbling down, down
Trees branches cold and bare
Signs of Autumn here and there, there
Summer's gone and Winter's near
Autumn season's here
Hard at work, the gnomes and fairies
Gathering acorns, seeds and berries
Apples and pumpkins it's harvest time
Scarves and mittens dear friends of mine
Red, orange, yellow, brown
Leaves are tumbling down, down
Trees branches cold and bare
Signs of Autumn here and there, there
Summer's gone and Winter's near
Autumn season's here!
