Edwin & Tilda are having a Jewish Wedding!!!

I'm sure you blog hoppers know how much i love Magnolia stamps, i am waiting with bated breathe for all the new ones, but alas the wait is soooo long when you live in Africa, everything takes forever to reach us.
Well i can wait no More!  I am always inspired by Maddie who makes the most amazing fimo figurines and decided to take the plunge, now be kind when leaving comments as i have never done any kind of moulding course not even cake moulding so this is a trial and error thingy for me.
This is not for any kind of challenge as all the challenges want a stamped image and of course i dont have one.:(

For those of you that are not familiar with Jewish tradition, we get married under a canopy that is called a Chupa, and of course the man needs to have a Yalmuke on his head so here you have Tilda and Edwin at their wonderful Jewish wedding.

  15. oh WOW Paola this is OVER THE TOP girlie!!!!!!!! I love the thought and details you have put into this project. WOW WOW WOW!!! As for the figures....VERY VERY WONDERFUL!!! I tied it and I swear that doing the clay hurt my hands as the clay would NOT get soft enough for me to realy work with.

    YOU SHOULD do more of this as you a VERY VERY GOOD AT IT!!! I am sure this took you forever to do my friend..
    Hat is off to you on this one for sure!
    big hugs, Janiel

  18. Well Paola, what else can I add to what has already been said by all your faithful followers. A wonderful job and judging from the comments, I really think that this should be posted to the Magnolia Magazine, so that they can see what amazing talent we have in South Africa. I am very serious about this. This project is so special that it deserves to be shared amongst all our crafty girlfriends worldwide! I hope others who follow this comment will urge you to do the same. Tons of hugs, Sharon x
