Creating some tiny decorations for the Christmas time ^_^

Yesterday I talked about how much I love the Cristmas spirit, even if we are just at the half of November. Every year, in this season, I work on some little decorations in the Christmas theme for my home, to parteciate at the Christmas markets in my city and to gift to relatives and friends.

This morning I work on a "prototype" for a tiny Christmas tree, tiny enough to stay in a test tube.

To make this tree I used some pieces of recycled tea bags. I love to use this paper, because it's really "light" and I can easily shape it in the forms that I need. I created a simple cone glued the pieces of paper and after I used my acrylic colors to give it the right shade of green and add some colored doits.

At the end, I gave it some coats of protective varnish and I added a "tree trunk" to fixe it on the base.

It's just a prototype and I have to adjust something, but I think it can be nice as a Cristmas decoration and I can use a similar tecnique in some of my sculptures too ;)

See ya soon
