Some new pieces for my desert set for Capucine

The palmtree is ok now, i have finally cut the leaves

and since last post I have finished the sloth and find a way to make a branch in the tree for him.

sewed a pond on two pieces of yellow felt for the desert and some plants.

the "Ancient Egypt" part started with the mummy and the sarcophageus

and now I have two characters done.

I made one more base for the cactus

I wanted to make a sandrose too, first test was harden the felt with glue (left) and the second was gluing felt on the cardboard (right).

We finally finished the 5th edition of my Tour de France sailing on rivers, seas and ocean, 

visiting 17 towns.

Here is a map of our cruise.

All our "guests" were lovely and

my crew of players as well.

I already have some ideas
for a next edition so I hope it will be soon a WIP!
