After Christmas I found a fabulous glass and gold Nativity set in this mirrored base dome at half price. I packed away the Nativity figures until next Christmas, but plan to use this new dome throughout the year. Here is its first use!
This
is another holiday display that is easy to put together. The individual
items are stored until February, although one of these days
I'd like for all these holiday items to be visible all the
time. Since this picture was made, a braided rug by Sadie
Ludecke has been added.
The
punch was one of my first experiences using resin and purchased
Fimo canes. The other desserts were made from Fimo, wood,
etc. Most of the whipped cream toppings were made with white
silicone.
The
bear in the chair is a Hallmark piece; the cushion was a scented
sachet pillow. The locking diary on the candlestick table
was made with an old Scrabble tile covered with red flocked
ribbon. The heart was cut from a piece of lace and the lock
and key are charms.
The
gift box was made by my friend Sandi. A Black Forest cake
and Cherry Delight dessert topped with whipped cream were
among other foods made in club workshops.
The
plaid chair and skirted table were made by my friend Mary
Lou. I made the pillow.
The
lamp shade is an early effort made from a pingpong ball, beads,
and a finding for a base. That's a Chrysnbon cup filled with
punch. The card was made by cutting on the fold of a full-size
Christmas card and adding a heart sticker. I wrote the message
on the inside.
