~ White & Silver Christmas Mystic Centerpiece - Inspired by Mythic Nest Anthropologie

In 2009 Anthropologie showed a fabulous item they called the Mythic Nest Tree topper. It did look like the fairies might have created it. I totally missed it in 2009 and all the knock-offs it had in Blogland. After seeing it a few weeks ago, my searching led me to the company which had actually made it for the store, and
they called it a crown nest. Which made sense as well. The funky natural kingdom meets glitter world was intriguing.

After filing away the image for a while, it kept coming back in my mind how much I loved certain elements, especially from the original ones that were created rather than the ones that were seen in the store. So I set out to make my own version that went with the colors and feeling of our Christmas decorating.

You can see a few of the things that brought the simple cream white bottle brush wreath that I used for the base to life as a crown/nest. I used some sparky eyelash silver yarn, and another one that mimic the colors of my favorite found nest. That one the momma bird had found something that looked like cotton from a field, very soft, fluffy and cream colored. The yarn was the same color in an eyelash style with a tiny bit of gold woven in.

I was going to make the glittered branches, but found these at the craft store, and they are glittered better than I could have done it. A few pearl and silver balls adds to the sparkle of a crown, and dried sticks from the outdoors completes the nest look.

Mine turned into a centerpiece for the dining room table with a tall candle in the center. This should be really easy to change a little each year if I decided I wanted a little bit of another color.

Happy Christmas~
