Family Gathering

 Back in 2010 I was in the mood to make a little Christmas themed scene revolving around characters of my invented role play series "Life of Lewa".  My first goal to making a scene of family and friends together on Christmas Eve, was to make a living room scene with a roaring fire and a festive tree. I set up this scene using Barbie furniture, doll house goodies, and found objects.

The scene below is the same living room, but I didn't feel it had enough light; so I sticky tacked a broken necklace holder to the ceiling, then sticky tacked a tea candle to that, and then hung pearls from it to make it look like a chandelier.

The dollhouse light in the corner is an actual miniature that works, and the fire is again a tea candle with red tissue paper surrounding it.

 (Above) The family gathers for Christmas Eve, cookies and egg nog for all to enjoy. The tree is brimming with shinny wrapped presents and toys of all kinds. Lewa and Venimbus sit together happily on the couch, Erozion and Kazikii chat the entire time, Harmose eagerly waits to get his hands on some cookies before the agori friend eats them all, and Moonbreeze talks to her sweet heart Sobrono over in the right corner near the tree.

I added in the lighting to their eyes, gives the picture more life than if I would have just left them as they were.

(Above) a bit of a closer view of the family gathering from the right side of the room. Venimbus is watching the silly kids fight over cookies.  Erozion discusses motorcycle builds with Kazi.

 The sunlight hit the side of my cupboard, resulting in a natural glow in Lewa's eyes. I like this picture for the gazing look Lewa seems to have, almost like something is bugging him, and he's thinking about it.

Hope you guys are having a great Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas and happy holidays. ^_~
