a christmassy still life
Hello everyone, I hope you had a lovely week-end. We had dreadful weather in Hamburg today - we had a lot of snow and it has been raining on the snow, so it's all slushy now. Whatever! It is a good opportunity to finish my small Christmas decoration at home. This year I decided to use my little home-made table (made out of an old bathroom mirror) to display a little christmassy, wintery landscape and I am pretty happy about the result. I love the fact that the table reflects the scene, especially when the lantern is lit up.
I wish you a fantastic week. Only 15 days to go till Christmas! xxx Elodie
- The centre of this still life is a metallic candle holder in the shape of an old Dutch house that I bought in one of my favorite flower shops: Blumenküche.
- On the left, I made a little star bouquet using old bottles from the lovely interior shop Lieblingszimmer.
- The stars are hand-made glitter stars from the shop Nordlys and the paper ornament is from House Doctor. Around the neck of the bottle is an home-made star I made using the German polymer clay called Fimo. I stamped my name on it, with a lovely stamp from the German designer bastisRIKE.
- The plastic animal under the cloche is from a local toy store and I love the contrast with the big porcelain mushroom.
Here are a couple of close-ups of the still life.
