Star Trek - Skiing and sledding

[dieastra]

I have a friend on Twitter who is always decorating the shop window of her local pharmacy. Easter, carnivale, Christmas... and last week she did a winter theme with skiing. Check out the pictures here:

A long long time ago a friend had made little skis for me, from coffee stirrers but I never have done anything with them as I did not like the skiing poles which were just straws.

So I got inspired and I went to look whether I could find something better in my stash. The metal rods are from file folders I believe. I also tried out spaghetti as they were lighter for Chakotay to hold up in the air.

















The hill, made from styrofoam, without the "snow":




The snow I use is a sheet that sometimes new technology things come wrapped in:




The little slalom posts I made with tooth pricks and paper for the flags:

Amazing! What a great downhill skiikg - and sleighning!!!
How on earth you can make all these tiny things work for you!?
I love the hill with the snow but Chakotay has a sexy skiing style and Kathryn looks utterly professional.
Haha, but those silly two (B´Elana and Tom) are rather too daring, eeeeeee!

Love all the tiny fiddly bits, the little flags and the circles on the poles and the way the painted skis look! Also the styrofoam "fabric" thing makes for a really great snow cover! And the "snow-covered" firs are fun!

Great use of everyday supplies! This is an adorable shoot, as usual :D

The pharmacy window pics that inspired you are awesome too!

You know, that's one thing I don't remember them ever doing on the holodeck. Going skiing would have been cool!

There's no much snow in my area, maybe I should make it myself too :D The skis and the poles look surpsiringly professional, considering the fact that they're made of spagetti and coffee stirrers! It's amazing what you can do with ordinary things.
