Dollhouse Miniature Pink Christmas Tree

I have never imagined a pink christmas tree until a few years ago, when I really like the colour pink and I wanted everything (almost) pink. When I was a kid, christmas trees were always green, and they had colourful lights, so you can imagine that was what my idea of what a christmas tree would be like.

This year, I had new ideas for a new dollhouse miniature christmas tree. Not only will it be pink, but there will be some blue, and more importantly, it will be all glittery and shimmery! I find that cosmetic colours can be a powerful source of inspiration for me too, as their ranges of new colours are often so pretty and it gives me so much room for imagination! From what I've noticed, Christmas colours for cosmetic makeup are often always so glittery and shimmering!

I hope you like my version of pink christmas tree!

Everything is ready, and all that we need is an east wind

Today all I could think of was this chinese proverb as I sat and edit my photos. The proverb is "Everything is ready, and all that we need is an east wind". 万事俱备,只欠东风

It pretty much summarizes exactly how I felt.

You know how sometimes, there is just an missing element that makes it "ahhh", but at that moment, you don't know what that is.

I remembered taking some photos of this dollhouse miniature christmas log cake a while ago, but something just wasn't quite right. I felt that I did not manage to capture its beauty back then.

But today I knew why. The answer was lighting.

We had beautiful weather in the morning today. The sun wasn't exactly scorching but I felt it was just nice. I swear it really was the sun that gives a soft glow to it.

So here I am again, presenting this special christmas log cake. I took reference from a real christmas log cake, and love this modern contemporary feel.
