Inspiration: I looked up Christmas when it came to magistream, and I saw this beautiful creature with a Christmas tree on it back. I just had to try and make my very own. Vosmari are one of my favourite Magistream stream creatures. The egg is a Spotted Holly Jackalope egg.
He is a bit dark, because the paint didn't want to co-operate

Method:
Shell: The shell is made out of Plaster of Paris. It was shaped using two bowls (one if which I had to break to release the plaster)
These two Plaster half circles were put ontop of each other, then shaped using a knife, and sandpaper. More plaster was used to set the two together.Legs: Made out of Toilet rolls. They were cut to size, and superglued to stick to itself. Then using Plaster bandage, I coated it, so it had that rough texture. Paint was then applied, and it was superglued to the shell.
Neck: Used Toilet roll and super glue. Then painted.
Head: I used Air-dry Clay for the head. Shaping it so it was right, then painted it.
Snow: Simply using plaster badages, scrunched up and cut. No paint needed.
Tree: Made by using Hard green Paper.
The black accents that are on the Legs, Head and neck were made using Black Felt pen.
Egg: I blew it out (by putting a hole in the top and bottom of the egg, then blowing out the contents to make it just a hollow shell.) Then paint it white. After the white dries, I paint it grey. Then getting a grey texta I make the spot.
-- The leaves were made from green hard paper, cut to shape.
----The 'berries' were made of red baked clay.
Then all were superglued together.
