Christmas Wreath

 

Finished for 2016!

Having started this last year it is finally finished and on the door.

 

I am a real fan of Lucy's work at Attic 24 and have always been inspired by her beautiful wreaths.
 

She generously shares her methods and so I set to work in November of 2015 covering a polystyrene base as she describes. With one thing and another my wreath didn't get further than the base last year, but it was put carefully to one side and last month I set to work again, this time with a head start.

 

There are a couple of posts here and here, sharing the process and where I found the patterns.

 

 

The photos are taken on the garage door because our front door doesn't really get direct sunlight.

 

 

The little robin was made by my Mum and was on our Christmas card from last year.

 I think he looks rather lovely just fluttering over the mice

and am glad to have found a new home for him.

 

 

Here it is in situ on the front door where it is making me smile each day when I get home.

Thank you Lucy!
