Hello dear readers,

It is such a relief working with nutshells only. Less mess.
I don't remember when my home looked tidier.

Despite the big demand for gnomes and their homes,
and in order not to get bored, I want to try making tiny fairy tales scenes. Becoming an "expert" on tiny trees, I already have enough for the woods or forests where some of the story plots take place. Why is it that fairy tales are stories for children? How can a young child not be frightened and horrified when he learns that granny was swallowed by the bad wolf?...

My first attempt is Goldilocks and the Three Bears











Witches are also very popular.  Made two new ones and cats, which already have owners. More on their way.








We are having some very hot summer days. The Fimo clay became too soft, I had to cool it in the
fridge in order to be able to shape the figures.

I hope everyone was able to have a nice, enjoyable summer vacation and is happy to start
crafting again. All the best to you with blessings!

Nutshell witch

Hello dear readers,

After filling about one dozen nutshells with gnomes, I took a break and made one prototype autumn scene with pumpkin, black cat, witch, and broom.  After all, Halloween is much sooner than Christmas and winter scenes can wait.












There is no end to how many scenes can be created in nutshells.  I wish I had more time but for the time being, I can only spare a few hours a week.  At least I can enjoy following your works.

I wish you a lovely weekend with blessings.
