Needlefelted Tapestry - Autumn Song

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!
