Cobweb House in Winter

 

Hello!

 

....  and suddenly it was winter ๐Ÿ˜€

The time goes by so fast. A classic Halloween house, which has just been lost in the fog,

 experiences the first snow.

 Felix the tomcat seems to be very comfortable. He walks across the roof with ease.

 

 

 



  

 

 some details





 
 
 
I fell in love with this unique house immediately. However, I couldn't use it for Halloween.
 I didn't want to wait until next October, so I put it into hibernation.
 I removed a few cobwebs (which I saved for future projects) and added wintry colours to turn this beautiful new kit into a winter home decor object.
It radiates cosiness and warmth while being illuminated by an electric tea light.

Little christmas lantern

  

Hello everyone!

 

Have you seen the latest 3D lantern kits at Calico Craft Parts???

Amazing,  also as a gift idea to assemble yourself.

You can glue them together quickly with wood glue. 

I chose the option  -Engraved - with some filgree snowflakes.


Extra Tip!


There is a small hole in the centre of the lantern

 to fit the tip of an electric tea light, 

the plastic sleeve acts as a small base, great!

 

 

 

I decorated the lantern with some slightly glittering snow effects, 

after all, we're all dreaming of white christmas, right? ๐Ÿ˜€


 

Perspex windows were sprayed with ice crystal spray, 

the ice flower effect on the panes creates a magical atmosphere.

I also glued the little boy with the sledge in the middle of the lantern

 (the shape was cut in two and glued offset). 

The lighting creates interesting shadow effects.

Thanks for stopping by...until next time!

The other bucket list

 

 

 Hello everyone!

 

 December has started, and everyone is searching for the ideal present again. 

But there are more significant things, especially during this time of year.

 This is the focus of my project today. 

I created a canvas with a modified wish list that serves

 as a reminder of the special moments of the Christmas season.

The first Frost

 

 Hello everyone!

 

 November - that unloved month between golden October with its glowing foliage,

 and the frosty December, that magical but often very hectic time.

 The first frosty November nights  freeze the last summer flowers and Halloween pumpkins 

and cover everything with a soft blanket of snow. 

 This mood inspired me to use a new mixed media board in the shape of a pumpkin. 

In a blue mood, I designed the background with a stencil and acrylics. 

The little forest elf spreads some warmth with her little light in this dark landscape 

covered with hoarfrost.
