Barbie Christmas Ornaments

Wow, this Barbie sure brings back memories! She was the ponytail barbie that I had as a child. She came out in 1963. I so wish I still had her. I had other barbie dolls and Ken too. Loved them all. Did any of you collect Barbie dolls?

Do any of you collect Barbie ornaments or have a collection of Barbie dolls? I've been looking around on the internet, and you wouldn't believe the prices of some of the vintage ornaments...$150.00 was one eye opener for the 1993 Holiday, the first one....yikes! She's the one in the beautiful red dress above.

Have a wonderful week!

Holiday Ice Sculptures

Ice sculpture is a form of sculpture which is three dimensional artwork made from ice, water that is frozen into a solid state as the raw material.

 Ice Art

Sculptures can be abstract or realistic and can be functional or purely decorative.

They are generally associated with special events because of their limited lifetime.

The temperature of the environment affects how quickly the piece must be completed to avoid the effects of melting.

Santa's Sleigh
Ice Impressions

If the sculpting doesn't take place in a cold environment, then the sculptor must work very quickly to complete his piece.

Some sculptures can be done in ten minutes if the carver is using power tools such as a chainsaw and specialty bits fitted to a die grinder which is a hand-held power tool sculptors use for contouring.

They also use razor-sharp chisels and hand saws specifically designed for cutting ice.

Color effects are possible by a number of techniques, including the addition of colored gels or sand to the ice.

This art form is traditionally taught in culinary schools, but there are some small schools that teach ice carving.

Harbin_International_Ice_and_Snow_Sculpture_Festival in China is a famous event held annually and has increased in size over the years. Sculptures of all sizes appear, up to and including building size pieces.

I love ice sculptures. It takes very talented people to create these beautiful works of art.

 Hope you have a wonderful day.

Outfit Confession..--Today I am wearing..

 

Like I shared in my last post Graphic tartans are back this Fall..  Today I planned to wear a Shirt wid a Tank-top .. Shirt's collars are folded  in a way to give it a look of a blazer.. (for early morning classes u need sumthing warm n Comfortable.. after all its Delhi winters..) To add color it this look i used a Pink color Tank top n pink flat Ballerinas(my most fav) and a belt to stop the collar from folding and to define the waist.. n a Vintage Bag .. That matches wid the belt.. not making it odd..!! i kept it simple.. didn't accessorize it much  coz I was dressing up for my classes. odawise wud have been wearing a watch n my fav studs atleast..

I generally prefer no-makeup look for college..but i always wear my lip balm..(VOV , Body shop or Fab-India..) n a moisturizer atleast..

Thats it.. for the day Divas.. see you soon..
