German folklore says the giving of nutcrackers is a gift of luck to the family and protection to the home. They represent strength and power to keep evil spirits and danger away. The designs were of birds, animals and people until the 1600s when they became soldiers and kings. Tchaikovsky’s ballet , The Nutcracker Suite, led to the tradition of nutcrackers becoming widely known. Still, as a young child, I know these characters would have scared me!

I designed and built this Nutcracker MOC as a special Christmas gift for a relative who is a fan of Nutcrackers. It does actually open and close, but I wouldn't recommend trying to crack any nuts with it.
I'm not sure who the mouse was.
Part of Nutcracker at dragon_theatre in Redwood City. Missed it? Well, there's Giselle the Aerial Dance/Ballet/Butoh coming Feb 13-15! Always more to be seen at the Dragon!
Rehash of a shot from the other day. Changed up the processing a bit - Jazz for cropping, softening the focus, exposure, film treatment, and scratches, snapseed for structure and ambience.

With a simple pull of the lever, these decorative figures can open and close their jaws like authentic nutcrackers!
Both of these models were built in the recent weeks leading up to Christmas. The design was pretty straightforward, but two major issues were making the faces look good, and finally getting the hats right. In fact, the green nutcracker's crown took the longest to figure out, and was finally made with hinge plates.
As mentioned in the tutorial, although these can in fact function as real nutcrackers, they're somewhat rickety and best suited for holiday decorations.
