This is my Christmas Photo Share today
I stepped out of my "primitive creating box" and
tried something new. I have never, ever done papier mache art
before...that is until one Saturday a few weeks ago..Maygan and I decided to try.
She still hasn't finished her Snowman on a Stick yet...but yesterday I finally finished my creation.
And, here he is...
my Vintage Inspired
"Chalkware" Snowman
now, I know he's not perfect, but I am so happy
with him.
I made him a mache Cone Hat, carved Wooden Nose,
and painted his eyes.
He's quite lumpy & bumpy, LOL
He's antiqued & covered in German Glass Glitter
He's a Joyful Olde Soul, happy as can be
with his very own handmade Feather Tree.
I used an Old Green Wooden Thread Spool for the base, some tiny
prim garland and then decoupaged paper letters to spell
J~O~Y ... on the tree trunk
Thank you so much for stopping by my Photo Share today.
It is always such a J~O~Y to me when you visit!
Blessings from me to thee,
Traci
