Artist Snoopy is Trying His Hand at Ice Sculpting
Even though Hallmark started their Spotlight on Snoopy and
Winter Fun with Snoopy series the same year, there really hasn’t been any cross
over between the two series. It makes
sense since the two are really dealing with two very different subjects. The exception to that came in 2010 when both
of them featured Snoopy as an artist for the thirteenth entry in the series.
While the Spotlight on Snoopy series featured Snoopy as a painter, for Winter Fun with Snoopy, he’s a sculptor. Specifically, he’s carving an ice sculpture
of his pal Woodstock. He’s still wearing
a red beret and he’s coupled it with a green scarf, and he’s holding tools in
his hand to work on his carving. He’s
almost done because the ice looks amazing.
Meanwhile, the real Woodstock is looking pleased as he looks on. Why wouldn’t he be since the sculpture is
larger than Woodstock is.
And once again, I have to marvel as the detail they put into
a miniature ornament. Everything I just
described fits into an ornament that is an inch at its largest points. Seriously, how do they do that? As you may have figured out, I really do love
the connection with the other series as well, but if you just collect one or
the other series, you can certainly enjoy them by themselves.
Snoopy, Woodstock, and ice Woodstock are all standing out in
the snow, which gives us a nice flat base.
Of course, with the size, you’ll want to make sure there is some place
safe to set it if you aren’t hanging it on your tree. You’ll also find the 13 in a Christmas tree
series marker down there.
The hook for hanging the ornament is on the top of Snoopy’s
beret. Since he’s not quite in the
center of the ornament, the ornament tips slightly to the right and a bit more
to the back. Unfortunately, there’s
really no good place to but the hook for it would hang straight, but it’s not
so bad that it is distracting. You probably
won’t notice by the time you get the ornament nestle among branches on your
tree.
2010 was the year I started collecting Hallmark ornaments,
and I was tempted to buy this Winter Fun with Snoopy because of how it tied in
with that year’s Spotlight on Snoopy ornament.
I resisted at the time since I wasn’t collecting miniature
ornaments. Not that I’ve changed my mind
on minis, I’m thrilled to have this one in my collection.
Don't miss the rest of the Winter Fun with Snoopy series.
