These are more photo's I found of different Christmas Village displays I created. Again, I always work with Dept 56 Villages. I tried to make the villages as realistic as possible. Winding the roads through the various buildings, making the roads have curves and small hills also helps. Using a variety of trees in the display really makes it come alive. Hope you enjoy these.
This is from the Dept 56 Dickens Village. The skating pond was on of the first accessories they had with moving parts. The skaters moved around the pond.
Notice the variety of trees and how the buildings are easy to see because they are placed higher as they get further back in the display. The mountains where an accessory offered from Dept. 56
This is another Christmas in the City. By having the streets and the Canal extend from the front of the display to the back it has added a lot of depth to the display.
This is the Original Snow Village. This Christmas village is just a blast to work with. Check out the bumps in the road. Really gives it a look...doesn't it?
This blog might not make sense if you didn't read the blog on Creating a Christmas Village. You should read it first, and this will make more sense. Thanks:-)
love your designs..what are you using to make the black roads? are the white dotted lines painted on or are they decals? looks great!
ReplyDeleteThank you, the black roads were sold by Dept. 56. They came in a roll. I couldn't tell you if they still have that product or not. It worked well because it was made of a flexible rubber so you could bend and fold it however you liked. The white dotted lines were on it when it came in.
