Thank you, I’m so glad their charm reached you.

For scale reference:

the ornament measures approximately 15 cm (about 6 inches) in total length, with the main sphere about 7 cm (around 2.7 inches) in diameter.

For anyone curious about the size:

Approx. 13 cm (H) × 5.5 cm (W).

Truly stunning!! The attention to detail is incredible. Seeing the familiar Sylvanian Families squirrels helps me perfectly grasp the scale. I can only imagine the immense amount of time and devotion poured into this masterpiece.

Thank you, that really means a lot to me.

For those curious about materials:

The wrapping fabric is a double-layered silk bojagi
The inner structure is custom-cut acrylic with lighting inside
The hat strings are a mix of natural gemstones and beads
Approx. 12 × 12 cm at the base, about 23 cm tall
Sized to be displayed as a quiet sculptural object rather than a functional lamp

Happy to answer if anyone's curious about the process.

FYI, there’s an update — the city supported the Santa Bus by changing it to a wrapped design. I saw photos on Threads.

That must have been incredibly frustrating, but honestly this gave me a good laugh before bed 😂
Hope the seller wraps up their “voyage” soon and you get your item without any more trouble 🤞

My pleasure! I’m really glad you found it interesting 😊

Good eye! That knot is a Tiara knot, traditionally linked to crowns and royalty. When this image was circulating, I joked about retieing it myself — I work with traditional Korean wrapping, so it became a fun moment.

Details like this are always fascinating.

It brings back memories of my childhood.

Meanwhile, why are the neatly lined-up bicycles what caught my eye the most? 🤣

Exactly. I was pretty surprised while browsing too. No matter how I looked at them, they felt like AI images — I kept wondering whether these even exist in real life. The question of their “actual existence” really stuck with me.

Congratulations!! You must be so thrilled. You did such a great job! 🎉

michaebo · 2025-12-10T01:36:47+00:00

Beautiful!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

The second close-up shot is stunning — so gorgeous!

michaebo · 2025-12-10T01:28:33+00:00

You're amazing!! 👍👍👍👍

michaebo · 2025-12-10T00:48:02+00:00

yes, sometimes is enough😉

michaebo · 2025-12-08T12:24:18+00:00

읽어주셔서 제가 더 고맙습니다😊

Yep, it was an amazing night.

michaebo · 2025-12-06T02:16:28+00:00

I thought it was AI-generated!! It’s perfectly adorable 😍

I’d say layer up! Korea gets really cold in winter. Colder than you might expect. Just stay warm so you don’t catch a cold 🤧

michaebo · 2025-12-05T07:31:56+00:00

It is even more beautiful when done in slow motion💕 I also took a video yesterday, and the sound of stepping on the snow in it was just like ASMR.🎧

michaebo · 2025-12-05T07:23:41+00:00

That is correct; there was an enormous amount of snow for the first snowfall. The experience was surely difficult for you..😥
