Christmas creatures


Hello friends, meet my two latest creations, Mrs Snowman and Miss Reindeer.


I was inspired by a tutorial in a magazine gifted to me by Jane.  The tutorial was by talented creators The Indigo Twins.
Here is their Etsy store.


The reindeer idea came from a stuffed toy I saw in a shopping catalogue.
Don't they look at home in front of my little Molly's Maison lounge room diorama?


Some closeups... (they're supposed to look a bit rustic)




I was so thrilled to find their little block bases at the Salvos for $3 (for a box of them). Their legs are skewers and their bodies are made from polymer clay over an armature of scrunched foil, skewer and wire.
I think they're rather cute :)
Have a fab weekend!
