Artist creates real-life gingerbread house for Christmas
An artist in Los Angeles has put pretty much everyone’s Christmas decorations to shame by transforming her parent’s house into a gingerbread-style house just in time for Christmas.
Christine McConnell, who is also an accomplished photographer and baker, went all out this year incorporating intricate details like gingerbread men, icing on the roof and lollipop lawn adornments in her final design. The fact that her parent’s house already looks like a fairy tale cottage also helps!
And while the gingerbread-style house may look amazing (and almost appetising), it’s definitely not edible. Ms McConnell constructed the gingerbread men from foam core insulation board, icing roof from nylon rope netting and hand painted the candy striped decorations.
For the final photo shoot also enlisted the help of her niece and nephew to play Hansel and Gretel. We think she did an amazing job!
