I started a new theme tree and I haven't gotten very far along yet but I thought I'd pop in and show you what I have started so far.
Keep in mind this doesn't look like much yet but give me time and it'll be full of goodies:
And the backside of the tree so far:
And the front again :)
I have a long way to go yet. My plans are to make the island of misfit toys characters with clay, to make more tree ornaments, some candy to stick here and there, and wrapped gift boxes for under the tree. The bottom side that has nothing on it will have packages and "Charlie" in the box-the jack in the box toy who was a misfit because he was named Charlie instead of Jack :) The gold disks on the tree will have candles in them and there will be bright green ornaments here and there. And toys all over the tree of course. It'll be full of stuff before the end. This is just a basic start of what will be for this tree. And yes, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer is an actual part of the tree base, he's glued on there. You can't really see the fabric of the tree skirt but it looks like snow a bit but with a slight pale blue shimmer. Around it is a snowy white garland trim you can just barely make out in this photo. I'll be back when I'm done with it, this is the start of three theme trees I'm doing. The 2nd will be Wizard of Oz because I need to rewatch the movie for inspiration. How fun is that? That's what's great about minis, you get to relive being a kid again :) The third tree will be my own version of The Nightmare Before Christmas Tree but done in the Jack Skellington "Christmas" style instead of the Halloween style Sherry did (which was darling, I just want to do more of a Christmas look myself to change things up a bit). Think Santa Claus Jack plus a few creepies, plus candy, etc. Jack in his Santa outfit, shrunken heads on the tree mixed in with candy, bats, Christmas stockings, his dog Zero of course, etc. A mix of Halloween and Christmas, with the majority leaning towards Christmas.
Stay tuned for updates :)
