Fresh out of the hoop - this green man has been in my head for a couple of weeks while I have been away and has just seen the light of day for the first time. He is made in the hoop using felt (3 hoopings) and measures about 30 cm across. I plan to stretch him over a square canvas just as soon as I can find one!

The Green Man is a pagan fertility symbol but he often appears in church architecture here in England.

I think it would be interesting to place him on a bag. Protect the nature, I watch!

He will live in my kitchen where I already have several wooden and ceramic green men.

2104420088Wow, my mind is working on what I can use this design on. Is the Green Man particular to Lincolnshire or does he appear elsewhere in Britain or around the world?
Spectacular Sue, hope he appears on Engineered in Stitches, if not I'll be knocking on your door!!
