I made this ornament last year using Lynn's pattern, but I'm not overly happy with the coating. I used diamond dust for the stable and silver glitter for the trees. The trees have tarnished to a nice gun metal color but I much prefer the authentic look of the fine glitter. I think I'll try another one with fine glitter. I also used the scrap from Blumchen.

Laurie I really like the colors you picked out and how the glitter tarnished. It's lots of fun to see the different variations from one patten. |

Some years ago--in a local drug store no less not known for carrying name-brand anything as far as craft supplies went--suddenly stocked their shelf with little jars of glitter--no labels---only one was silver, I liked the price, brought it home and promptly lost it in the closet that is my theoretical "craft supply" storage--I found it a year later and it had tarnished to a gorgeous gun-metal. I hope to use it in the coming year.... All that said, I love the simplicity of this little house. |

I was wondering if anyone knew what all the figures were found on these ornaments.\ So far I've seen:
Are there any more? Steve |

Not that I know of Steve those are the only ones I have ever seen. I have seen a box set and that only had these four. I have seen variations of the different colors of gltter used. |

So my cupcake topper showed up today. I placed one on a house I threw together. The coating does not look vintage at all. need to work on that. But the cupcake topper is real close to the original. Inexpensive too. Attachment: sleigh 800.jpg [ 106.53 KiB | Viewed 16460 times ] Merry Christmas, Steve No snow here in VT. 65 degs and sunny. Not a normal Christmas. |

Steve, the old one probably glistened a lot more when it was new, so the brighter finish of your new one doesn't keep it from being a good tribute. I can't believe how close you got on that cake topper. - Paul |

I am impressed in how the new toppers match the old ones found on the houses. Can anyone explain to me what the coating they used is. It seems to be a sand/glitter mix. But the glitter has tarnished over time. Also it seems the added color on the edges is a watered down paint. Can anyone set me straight on this. I'd like to match my repros as close as I can. Steve |
