An age-old craft, snow balls, according to sources became popular in the early 19th century in France and since then, they just carry on reflecting fantasy worlds. Their production was like a secret that was handed down from generation to generation, adding some more mystical atmosphere around them.
It can be really very simple to make your own snow ball and enclose your miniaturized dreamy worlds & landscapes in there! You can take any old jar, some water or distilled water for clearer results, some glycerin for slowing down the pace of movements inside the ball and of course any little miniature and elements you wish to watch moving on a nostalgic note.
It really worth’s meeting the snow globe artists Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz, who are inspired by nature and the elements and they draw people into their surreal world of winter wonder for 15 years. The couple puts a modern twist on this age-old craft, producing poetic and customAlso called demi-couture or made-to-order. This is a way of ... works of art. Watch them and get inspired!
