‘Tulip’ – A Charming Needle Felted Stop Motion Adaptation of ‘Thumbelina’

Talented materials artist Andrea Love and illustrator Phoebe Wahl created “Tulip”, a charming needle felted stop motion adaptation of Thumbelina that features a little girl named Tulip who was found in the garden by a caring woman who’d always wanted a child.

As Tulip grew, she yearned to be outdoors, but her protective mother felt that she was too small. Against her mother’s wishes, however Tulip snuck outside one night and in doing so, found herself on an accidental adventure.

This contemporary adaptation of Thumbelina follows Tulip, a little girl who is born from a flower, as she explores the wild and wondrous garden outside her mother’s house. In her quest to find her way back to where she belongs, Tulip meets many creatures, some kinder and more helpful than others.
