I used to love shopping in John Lewis when I worked in London, and I know I could have spent hours and hours browsing the site. But as soon as I saw the Sylvanian Families on the home page, that was it. I love them - I'm just too old to have had them, but I can remember looking at them in toy shops when they came out. Now my niece is into them, and so was the little boy I used to mind. He used to lose those pesky tiny little apples and bananas and sandwiches from the picnic set, and I'd have to try to find them before he went home again.
Base cut with largest scallop Nestabilties, then a red layer and then image layer with plain circles. Images stamped with Versafine Black on Bristol Board (masked the critters), then coloured with pencils. Stickles added to foreground, some gloss added to lights and ornaments and a See-D's sentiment added.
