Yes...it did it again...Pinterest MADE ME DO IT...
Last July saw a Christmas door decoration that I had to copy...did you see it?...the vintage ice skate stufed with greens ?....for some reason this so inspired me...I have never ice skated, not as a kid in Missouri and never here in California....but that skate and silvery blade really screamed WINTER! CHRISTMAS! to me.
#1
Searched out white vintage ice skates on
and purchased a very nice slightly aged pair of leather white skates ....
#2
The Pinterest inspiration version had black and white checked long laces ...so...I go
and find
..the photo below is the first one I made.....it doesn't have the 'snow' glitter dust on it yet, the greens are real cedar and pine from the Sierras, faux poinsettia, and berries.....
..here's the second one I made..(get it?...PAIR of skates)
..this one.....all the trimmings are faux...and it is presently hanging in a the local Mercedes dealership in my daughter's office....
...the finishing touch is the whte glitter dust...it is so icy..makes the blades look like they just cut across the rink!
