The Christmas story: Lit candles, day 1 – Jule historien: Tændte stearinlys, dag 1

Dansk, se længere nede.

In the middle of the wood a small mouse lived in a cozy little cottage. It was a winter Sunday, and the family that also lived in the cottage, had been out for a long walk, and now they drank hot cocoa and had some delicious cookies. The children placed a piece of cookie in front of her warm and cozy mouse hole. Soon it became dark outside, and even if the stars were shining and sparkling, she felt that it might snow during the night. The family lit candles and placed them in the windows, and the draught made them drip. Yes, the wind had risen, and before the little mouse went asleep, she was sure, that it would snow during the night.

To be continued…

I en hytte ude midt i skoven boede der en lille mus. Det var en vinter søndag, og husets mennesker havde været ude og gå en tur, og nu drak de varm kakao og spiste lækre småkager. Børnene lagde et lille stykke kage foran hullet ind til hendes hyggelige musehul. Det blev hurtigt mørkt, og selv om stjernerne skinnede klart, føltes det som om, det måske ville sne i løbet af natten. Familien tændte stearinlys og satte dem i vinduerne, og trækvinden fik lysene til at dryppe. Jo, det var blæst op, og før den lille mus lagde sig til at sove, var hun sikker på, at det ville begynde at sne i løbet af natten.

I used 2 coats of China Glaze Velvet Bow,  and 1 coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust. Acrylic paint and a 00 brush to create the rest. Silver for the candle. Gold, orange and black for the flame. The drippings are made with silver, white and black. To create detail in the leaves I used two shades of green, and red for the berries.

Jeg brugte 2 lag China Glaze Velvet Bow og 1 lag China Glaze Fairy Dust. Akryl maling og en 00 pensel til resten. Sølv til stearinlyset. Flammen er malet med guld, orange og sort, og stearinlysenes dryp er malet med sølv, hvid og sort. For at få detalje i bladene, har jeg brugt to grønne nuancer, og ja, så er der brugt rød til bærrene. Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.
