I have finally finished the explosion box that I have been working on FOREVER!!!! I was waiting for pieces of a music box...specifically the turntable!! Well it arrived on Friday and wouldn't you know it the turntable was too big...LOL!!! I have been waiting for NOT to move forward on this project...so back to the drawing board to figure out how to get the music box/tree portion to work without a turntable...hummm!!
So...I warn you now that this post is picture HEAVY!!!...and I gave up writing down all of the copics used!
Here is "A Very Tilda Christmas" Explosion Box/Music Box...
view of Tilda's "winter cottage"...
the front door..."Welcome holiday guests!!!"...
the back window with decorated flower box...
"OH!!! What have we here??...Pixie Tilda (CS 2012) can't wait to get in!!...
and Jingle Jangle Tilda (CS 2012) anxious to get the decorating done...time is running out...
Glittering Tilda already to go...
Sneaky Tilda has a gift to put under the tree...Jasper's hoping it's a lovely bit of catnip...
Wiola (WW 2013) is a great help to Glittering Tilda...
and an arial view of the cozy cottage...the Christmas tree turns when wound...
