Holly Vendor

What kind of figures have been used with cardboard Christmas houses and villages, where do you get appropriate figures today, how do you make, prepair, repair or otherwise maintain figures?

Holly Vendor

Post by Lynn »

I’ve made a Holly Vendor with his holly cart.
I thought I stumbled upon a great idea to use a fine point graphic marker for some of the details, it sure worked out well or so I thought until I dipped my flattie in the poly and all the ink from the pen ran, so not such a good idea after all. I was able to repaint over the poly and dip it for a second’s time, but I want to share my experience just in case someone else thought of trying this.
Well what’s a vendor without someone to buy his holly, so I am making a woman to go with him.

Great save on this flattie Lynn. Who would have thought permanent marker would run with poly coating. The colors are bright and cheery and what a fun subject. Nice work!

Lynn,
The Holly vendor is a work of art. I just don't know how anyone can cut these little pieces and then paint them. I am always amazed. I did try one flattie - the witch flattie and I did what you did with the marker, it smeared, but it wasn't too bad. Yours worked out great. I look forward to the Holly Buyer.

Sure is cute work. Not that I do people - too hard and I doubt they would stand still. LOL
