I have spent the week catching up on a few orders and getting these little mini snowman gourds dressed! It was fun to make wee little hats and scarves. They are all now snug and warm in their upcycled cashmere sweater hats and scarves. Top of the line trimmings for these little dudes! ;)
The first snowman completed stands 8 1/2 inches tall (including his hat). His soft fuzzy stocking cap and scarf matches the little gingerbread girl's Butter Pecan background perfectly. His mittens are a lightened version of Olive Moss that complements his earthy tones.
The smallest of the mini gourd snowmen has the boldest of colors! This little bundle of winter joy stands 6 1/4 inches tall (including his hat). A soft repurposed burgundy cashmere sweater hat and scarf complement his Holly Green mittens. A big statement in a very small package! :)
The tallest of the trio is donned in the softest of winter colors. He stands 8 1/4 inches tall (including his hat). Two different recycled cashmere sweaters were used to make his attire: one in a soft Medium Blue and the other of light Ecru with a Sage Green tint. To coordinate with his light colored apparel, I made his mittens Medium Brown with Butter Pecan highlights. This one may not be entirely finished... As I look at him, the brushes may come back out and give him some snowflakes in the sky around the woolly lamb. Snowflakes would give a little extra magic to the Christmas scene! :)
These little snowmen were so much fun to work on. There are about a half a dozen more of their brothers waiting for paint... and quite a few larger ones, too! These little guys should be making their appearance in my Etsy store sometime this weekend. I'm not sure how many more will get completed for before the Holiday... But, I look forward to adding to my inventory after the first of the year. Can you believe it? 2012 is not that far away!
