More funny snowmen

[wiseheart]

Todays crafty bit was finishing some pieces of an Advent desk decoration concept my young colleague A asked me for. She isn't a crafty person, so she needed some help with that. Also, she's Jewish and didn't want the usual stuff with the Baby Jesus and little angels and stuff. So I went for funny.

These are the preliminary results: somewhat unconventional snowmen and little Christmas elves. The latter I made almost 30 years ago, when I came home from Germany, but they hadn't been used for a long time. I re-vamped them a bit, adding the collars and removing the hangers from the hats, and I think they look reasonably good.



There will also be pine trees, preferably made of large pinecones (or simply green cardboard, if I don't find the right size cones) and small "gift packages" - matchboxes wrapped in colourful Christmas paper. The whole thing will be placed on a white surface, with tea lights and tinsel.

The snowmen look ... funny ... as in funny funny, not strange funny. ;-)

So does your icon. I love it! You have such great icons, do you make them yourself? I utterly failed at that.

[meathiel]

Yes, I made most of them myself. I used to have an icon community as well but have given it up due to time restrictions. And Photobucket getting wonky ...
If you want any pics made into icons or any special themes just let me know.

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. :)

I love the snowmen. They look so happy.

I hope so! They have a stellar career before them: They'll work as decoration for a fifth-term-class's Advent calendar. *g*

Those look really cheerful to help count down the days.

Good cheer is important. *g*

Nice! Will you be taking these all toa bazaar? Or are they to give as gifts?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

They were requested as Advent decoration.

Just looking at them puts me in a good mood - snowmen are so cute!

My work of spreading the good cheer is done, then. :)
