Florence | Wildhearted SeasonsHere’s a more personal version in your voice:<br> <br> A Tiny Guardian of Spring<br> <br> I’ve been working on this little snowdrop spirit, and I love how it turned out—both gentle and a little wild. Snowdrops have always felt magical to me, the first brave ones to push through the frozen earth, whispering that spring is near. I wanted to capture that quiet resilience in this tiny being.<br> <br> Hand-stitched from wool felt, with a cloak as soft as the first petals of the season, this little one feels like a keeper of woodland secrets. A guardian of the in-between time, when winter still lingers, but the light is returning.<br> <br> I love creating tiny creatures that feel like they have their own stories to tell. What do you see in this one?<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/celebratetheseasons?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#celebratetheseasons</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/seasonaltable?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seasonaltable</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/handmadecreations?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handmadecreations</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/natureinspired?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#natureinspired</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/slowcrafting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#slowcrafting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tinytreasures?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tinytreasures</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/wildheartedseasons?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildheartedseasons</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/simplepleasures?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#simplepleasures</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/naturalmaterials?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naturalmaterials</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/handmade?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handmade</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/levenmetdeseizoenen?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#levenmetdeseizoenen</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/seizoenstafel?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seizoenstafel</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/jaarfeesten?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jaarfeesten</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/slowliving?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#slowliving</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/waldorf?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#waldorf</a><br> M
