Let It Snow

I think this will be the last of my Christmasy makes.....but you never know lol
i found this lovely chunky snowman and just had to have a play.
mounted on a base so i had more room to embellish.

I normally use a wooden base but didnt have one and not being able to wait i cut up a box and layered two pieces together, when all the gesso is on and dry its a lovely solid base plus it allowed me to cut into in to make a groove to stand the fence in making it a bit more solid.



3D art balls, gesso and glass glitter  for the base coat, i had to go and buy more gesso, these snowy scenes are taking up a lot, finding the works gesso a brilliant all round medium, for texture and a base im getting through a lot of it.

my let it snow letters are standing in the gesso and when dry are not going any where.



wooden snowflakes standing in the snow umm gesso too along with the fence at the back,
3D balls make a great snow effect.


 

buttons for his eyes, some gems for his mouth and nose and a crochet scarf to keep him warm, then a splattering of snow ....white paint
