Little Tree, Big Trees, Tiny Trees

Christmas Decorations

Pollyanna has put up the Christmas Tree in the Lovely Old Dollhouse. She (and I, Dear Readers) is ENCHANTED when those tiny colored lights go on! It is just SO Beautiful she (I ) can hardly take her eyes off of it!

Victor and Joanna are here this year to help with the Celebrations. And Arthur has come over to help with the moving furniture to make room for the tree. There is still so much to be done, but this is a START, thinks Pollyanna. Maybe this weekend she will get the rest of the decorations put up!

And the BIG trees in my 1:1 scale house have also been decorated.....

here you can see the one with the colored lights in the downstairs room.......

And a little closer view.......
with the home-made angel on top......

And here is the upstairs tree all decorated.......

keeping me company in my studio where I am working on the Christmas card.......

And here is a close-up of one of my home-made ornaments.......

a "snowball ornament" with a mini Nativity scene inside it........

I have made several different "Snowball ornaments".......

here is one with a tiny Garden Scene inside..... with a table and chairs on a patio.....

with book and cup of tea and Roses growing and an arbor in the side.......

They are quite difficult to photograph on the tree.....
I apologize for the poor lighting......

Here is a closer view.......

And another one..... a Fairy beside a pool in the Forest.....

Here it is in better lighting......

You can see her reflection in the mirror pool "water"........

Here is a view with the light shining from behind illuminating the translucent "sun" panel....

And a closer view of the Forest backdrop.......
the "sun " panel is iridescent gold paper....

Each of these ornaments is about three to four inches in diameter......

made from paper mache...

They are supposed to look like a Snowball.....
hollow........ with a scene inside.......

This one is still not quite complete.....

it needs the decorated edge around the opening......

and the hanger too......

the lamppost has glow-in-the-dark paper attached to the lantern......

The Faun is made of sculpey..... do you recognize him....?

Here you can see the Lantern is glowing!

And another one that is still only partly done....

I think I showed you this one last year.....

It is supposed to be Santa's Parlor.......

With an elaborate cloud filled sky painted ceiling........

And a hearth with glowing coals and sparks flying up the chimney....

and a Tile Fireplace surround....

And a framed carving over the mantle......

of Mrs. Claus when she was younger, of course!

And a Gilded ceiling fixture......

And two windows looking out on the Night sky.......
with the moon looking into one........

And stars in the other......

I made two tiny stuffed chairs for them to sit in.....

And I STARTED to make Mr. and Mrs. Claus........

out of Sculpey and pipe cleaner wire.....

Here is a not very good picture with them inside.....

they are so tired they are already snoring....

And I have assembled a tiny table with a pot of Chocolate...... and a Tiny Tree....

To tuck in beside them in their COZY Parlor......

You can see I have a ways to go to finish this one.....

But, Oh, it looks so inviting......

waiting for Santa to be done with his busy LONG Night.......

MAYBE this year I will get it done....

but NOT before I finish drawing the Christmas Card!
