Ok, I'll start with the ending: the mice turned out great! Honestly, the imperfections you see give them character and make them unique-I wouldn’t mind receiving a gift like this (I don’t mind the ghost attached). Lucia is such a beautiful tradition. Yeah, the origins trace back to southern Italy, but she’s not really celebrated there beyond the saint’s name. You guys have truly made this celebration your own!😍 Loved the video-it was so relaxing to watch. I really enjoyed how you wove a bit of history into it. ❤ 💪
Haha, thanks! It was so much fun (but sticky!). It's truly so cool how different traditions are within this little continent. It's one of my favourite things about being European. Are you celebrating anything special? And thank you for the encouragement 🙈 Would like to tell more stories and do more "history lite" in the future, this was a bit of a rest to see how I could work it in with the making 😊 ❤️
@ Absolutely, it worked very well. Many people enjoy watching videos while working on something else, so storytelling is definitely a great approach. Where I live, winters are gloomy, and the landscape feels like it’s straight out of “The Others”. There are ghost and witch stories tied to the area. Christmas isn’t very unique here, but the Befana, celebrated in January, is popular across Italy. She’s a witch who brings candy to good kids and coal to naughty ones.
@@rampant.hare.illustrations it still sounds dreamy with a gloomy Christmas among that lovely Italian architecture. Here in the south of Sweden we don't get as much snow either, but I like a "gothic Christmas". I hope you have a wonderful holiday season ✨ I look forward to your next video 😊
Thank you 🥲 Do it! Honestly easier than I thought except for the stickines lol! Someone said to try potato starch and water instead of glue and Ill be trying that next time (less sticky)
Lovely mice and thanks for the trivia as well!
Thank you for the nice comment ❤️
use corn or potato starch mixed with water instead of glue ,it works way much better
Amazing, I'm gonna have to try that! Thank you!
