Christmas is over

I can finally say I am all done with Christmas projects. One was to repaint this Christmas countdown I made years ago. I had first coloured it with pencil crayons but wasn't very happy with it. I gave it a couple of coats of clear gesso, sanded it a bit because it was gritty, then painted over it with acrylic paint and Derwent Graphik pens.

Before:



After:


The before picture shows just one window flipped and the other one shows them all flipped. Some of those little images were really challenging, the squares are only 1 1/4".

The fabric on my rocking chair seat was really falling apart so I did some sewing. I didn't have enough of anything so I used two different fabrics and just did the seat and back.
