centro cultural tina modotti Boule à neige Leah Andrews
Una Boule à neige è una sfera trasparente, tradizionalmente realizzata in vetro, che racchiude una sorta di scena miniaturizzata, spesso insieme a un modello di un paesaggio.
La sfera racchiude anche l’acqua che funge da mezzo attraverso il quale cade la “neve”. Per attivare la neve, il globo viene scosso per smuovere le particelle bianche. Il globo viene quindi rimesso nella sua posizione e i fiocchi cadono lentamente nell’acqua. I globi di neve a volte hanno un carillon integrato che riproduce una canzone.
Alcune Boule à neige hanno anche una decorazione sulla base.
A Boule à neige is a transparent sphere, traditionally made of glass, enclosing a miniaturized scene of some sort, often together with a model of a landscape.
The sphere also encloses the water in the globe; the water serves as the medium through which the “snow” falls. To activate the snow, the globe is shaken to churn up the white particles. The globe is then placed back in its position and the flakes fall down slowly through the water. Snow globes sometimes have a built-in music box that plays a song.
Some Boule à neige have a design around the outerbase for decoration.
