I know someone who purchases Nutcrackers at a thrift store and then puts gems and glitter all over them, and resells them. The result is very special, unique, and stunning. I found this 20" nutcracker about 3 or 4 years ago. I am finally getting around to adding the gems and glitter to the nutcracker.
Today, I put some gems on...and I will continue for the next several days. It is going to snow, and I will be in my studio working on a few projects.
