Primitive Snowman

I went into my studio on Friday for a bit and got creative. This Primitive Snowman is one of the things I had fun creating. I love working with Primitive Snowmen because you can decorate with them all winter long.

I made this using three Styrofoam balls of different sizes, which I coated with Snow-Tex, let dry, and then put together using toothpicks to attach each one to the other. I added stems of Pip Berries for the arms and some homespun for a scarf. I also added a Rusty Tin star, a craft carrot nose and I painted on some eyes. The hat is made from a baby sock. And I added some mica flakes to the hat and snowman to give it a little bit of a shimmer. I could have grungy'd him up a bit too, but once I got him to this point I just liked him as-is. So I decided he would stay pure white.

On a side note, in case you're wondering, I don't  know where I got the craft carrot nose. I bought it online several years ago after doing a Google search. So if you're wanting to know where to get them just Google for "snowman craft nose" or "craft carrot nose" and you should get plenty of results.
