A Christmas Scene

Well this has taken 5 days to do!!

From this photo, a wooden village scene, that I 

bought 2 Christmases ago from Hobbycraft,

to the photos below!!

I painted it with Gesso first and had to leave it to dry.

Then I did one coat of grey Acrylic paint where I wanted it

 and had to leave that to dry.

I then painted parts of the windows, brickwork and 

part of the church. with Paper Artsy Chalk Acrylic paint

colour Antarctic.

Then had to let it dry!!

Then I decided the grey was too dark. So I painted over it 

with a lighter shade. That needed two coats and of course,

drying time between coats!!

Then a second coat of the Antarctic paint. 

Then some gold paint

on the clock face and the lanterns.

I used a spatula to spread some white paste, onto 

the 'floors', the roofs and trees, as snow and 

topped it with some glitter.

Put the batteries in and turned the lights on and then

turned the key for the Christmas song played 

and the centre piece rotating!!

Phew!! Hope you are still awake!! 

Sold it straight away, when I sent a text 

 photo of it to friends and family. 

 

So I will be delivering it to it's new owner soon.

 

Hope you have enjoyed the few beautiful days

we have had this week.

Thank you for your lovely messages on

my last post, also the ideas for whiskers for

my dogs and cats!! I have used Pauline's at

Crafting at Cotnob idea first. 

I used to make jewellery and had a rummage and

found a whole real of beading thread!! 

It worked out fine, as I could also make it 

black using a Permanent Marker Pen.

So thank you for all your ideas and will try 

out the others too.

Stay safe.

Big hugs,

Carol

Foxy

    A friend asked me if I could make a Fox, with my 

    Needle Felting, as a gift for a member of her family. 

As I haven't been doing this for long, I said I would have a go.

So this is my result!!

   She has only seen a photo of him and said he was gorgeous.    

I just need to find something I can use for his 

black whiskers. Cotton is too floppy, even the thick one I had.

All ideas welcome!!

           

 

Thank you for the lovely comments on my last post.

They were all read and treasured.

I will visit your blogs and leave a message for you.

The cat in the window, my last post, got me another

commission. This time a Dachshund Dog!!

I already have a big Christmas project ready 

for my next post!! 

I know I don't have another one ready very often!!

Stay safe. 

Big hugs,

Carol
