@Aurore you have such a wonderful eye and imagination in putting parts together, I’m in awe. 

[zoth33]

Great use of that hood piece it really works well on the figure.   

[Aurore]

@williejm Thank you so much for those confidence-boosting words!

@zoth33 Thank you very much!

Day 21 : the Crystal

Dresghar - "At last, she found the crystal, glowing softly in the moonlight. As her fingers brushed its surface, warmth spread through her, and the crystal pulsed in response to the purity of her heart. In that moment, the darkness melted away, and she knew she had found the hope she sought."

...

And our tale has come to an end!

Finally, I've been dying to see what went on that poor lonely light grey jumper!    This finishes off the scene really well.  Great job with the design, it's such a unique way to present a MOC piecemeal like that and I'm super impressed by how well you did it, every bit had something interesting in it.

[GeoBrick]

Congrats on a story well-brought, Aurore.
Very inventive, with twists and turns in how you brought the chapters and depicted the scenes.

[zoth33]

Looks great so far.  The little forest scene is quite lovely and all the wildlife really bring it to life.  

[Aurore]

@Kai NRG Thank you so much! It was a challenge to have something interesting for each day, I’m so glad you think it worked! 

@GeoBrick Thank you so much! This calendar required a lot of planning to write the story and identify every build, but it was definitely worth it...

@zoth33 Thank you very much! It has been a lot of fun to gather all these little fairy folk!

[T-86(swe)]

I have followed every step of the calender! I haven’t had the opportunity (nor memory-space in my brain it appears) to comment on the progress this far though! 

An excellent calender for many reasons: Creative idea, well built and builds that really draws you in. Really looking forward to the last parts of the calender!!! Thank you again for throwing this great tradition @Aurore👏👍

[Aurore]

@T-86(swe) Thank you so much! It is so heartwatming and confidence-boosting to read such kind words, and to know that the calendar can spark joy!

Day 22 : Back to Embervale

Alrune - "That's all? The story felt unfinished. The crystal, the storm, the girl—there are too many unanswered questions." 

Dresghar - "Tonight is the Winter Solstice. The longest night, and the promise that light will return. That’s what we celebrate, Darling: not an end, but the hope of what’s to come."

Day 23 : Presents

Alrune - "You make the Solstice sound so symbolic and serious..."

Dresghar - "Because it is. And it is also a good excuse for gifts, wine, and merriment!"

"World's best boss"? 

I'm quite fond of the way you put those wall elements up where the lyre retsts.

[Kai NRG]

Really nice curves inside the arch on the wall.  Great collection of gifts too, can't go wrong with a best boss mug 

[Aurore]

@GeoBrick & @Kai NRG  Thank you! I’m glad you like the wall, something ornate was needed...For the gifts, I had a lot of fun imagining who offered what to whom. @Eyrezer got it right on Flickr for the mug! 

[Aurore]

Day 24 : the Solstice Fir

Dresghar - "Merry Solstice to all! May the light of dawn find us ready for whatever stories tomorrow may bring..."
