A Merry Meecka Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the forest, not a person was stirring. Not even a florist. Why would there be a florist? I don't know, it just rhymes with forest... bare with me... eh' hem...

The Meeckas were out and about decorating their tree,
until Stanley - the smallest Meecka - had to go pee.

"No! Not on the Christmas tree, Stanley!" the Meecka's proclaimed.
So Stanley held it and crossed his legs and felt a little ashamed.

There was snow on the ground and icicles too,
and lots of presents and shrubbery and glue!

Lots of other stuff happened that we don't have room to type,
lets just say the Christmas tree decorating lived up to its hype!

(and Stanley finally got to go pee.)

Anyway, this was a fun project. I built a little forest out of fake branches, moss, and glue. Then I Found a little Christmas tree that was about 1 foot tall, and some other various Christmas decorative things, and fake snow from Joannes fabric. I put it all together to create this cute scene. I have really been wanting to do this since our friend Dan made these sculpey Meeckas for Mike a couple of years ago. I put the main light up high and to the side, with a blue gel, to resemble the moon. Then I had a fill light set above my camera to give a little light to the front of the scene. Then i gave the image a fun painted edge, and a snowflakey background for our Christmas cards... sorry if you didn't get one. But, at least you get to see it here :) Merry Christmas!
