It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small

And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all!

Yes, this is Elsa's Ice Palace, built for the Summer Joust's 12x12 vignette category.

My tendency is to build huge, immersive creations without borders or edges, filling a frame. But vignettes, especially as small as 12x12, are a challenge for me to do well. What do you do in that small of a space that is interesting and worthwhile? Funny enough, W. Navarre was thinking about building a microscale castle, but I talked him out of it, and then I went ahead and built a microscale castle myself. He inspired me, I guess, that and my daughters running around pretending to be Anna and Elsa all day every day. One version has some edits (over the top? maybe...) and the other is plain. Getting over fear of GIMP? Check. Fear of vignettes? Check. Guess it's time to see what I can do, to test the limits and break through...
