mantle

some progress on the mantle for the christmaslantern. I'm so thrilled about the rustic slate-appearance the mantle has, while I made it with fimo! (on the wooden base I made earlier, see my post on November 25th). It was not meant to and the idea was to make ornaments on the mantle, but I liked the slate appearance so much that I got working on the top, that I decided that was going to be it for the whole mantle, and I'll won't add ornaments. I will only add trimming.
