Primitive Snowman *Snow Bells*

Well I have to say I think this turned out adorable and he jingles.... The snowman head is made out of muslin. It is colored washed with white paint and my yummy smelling coffee stain. It looks worn and distressed. The hat is also made out of muslin then distressed and cinnamon dusted. The under side of the brim has rusty bells hanging down. They were all hand stitched on and are on both sides and the front of the brim. On his hat is a piece of brushed cotton red gingham check that was tied to the hat just above the brim. Under the hat you will see some spanish moss. He has round grungy warm n natural patches that have been hand stitched on. Then I placed black buttons on top of the patches. His nose is made out of a stick and hand stitched on to his face. I then painted lightly with harvest orange paint. He has light rosey checks and antique buttons for his mouth. I then placed a crow ontop of the brim of the hat. The crow is made out of muslin, painted black and then cinnamon dusted to perfection. He wears a cute stocking hat. It is distressed red with a grungy warm n natural brim. At the tip of the hat I attached a rusty bell. He has a piece of grungy cheese cloth for a scarf. He sits on top of some spanish moss and green moss. I added some grapevine and cranberry berries between the crow and the top of the hat. I then dusted the entire piece with german glass glitter for an added touch. The entire piece measures approx. 19x8.5It would look adorable on any prim shelf, cubbie, under a tree, mantle or great for a gift for the holiday season. Great for the entire winter season!Homestead Barn, Copyright 2009, All rights reserved.They have been designed and handcrafted by me. The items will arrive at your door step signed and dated.
