Dawnmercedes gave us "The Nutcracker" as our theme today. One of my favorite holiday experiences.......and some beautiful Tchaikovsky music. "Waltz of the Snowflakes" is one of the big numbers for the corps de ballet and the costumes are always spectacular. I chose this piece as my theme.
I used a technique that was introduced to me months ago here on SCS. It was called "Retiform" and Beate's tutorial is HERE. I altered the technique slightly by using definite shapes. I punched out various snowflakes using Eclipse masking tape(no longer available : ( ). Placed them on white CS and brayered, removed the snowflakes and re-positioned them and brayered some more. I did this several times to get the bg. I then spritzed the whole thing with my homemade pearly glimmer spray. Unfortunately, my camera and/or my camera operator abilities never seem to capture this subtle glisten.
