Snowy Saturday

Hi Everybody!

It's a freezing cold day here. We had a lot of snow in

the night, and it's been snowing more this morning,

so I've declared it to be a stay-home-and-keep-warm

day. I'm not as steady on my legs as I was a year ago, 

and I don't want to slip and hurt myself. The pics were 

taken early this morning; standing in the cold taking

photos in your pyjamas is a great way to wake

up quickly. The snow will probably be gone by

tomorrow!

I have another of my heads to share today. This is 

number 6 in this series, and probably the last one for

 the time being, but who knows? I did make quite

a lot of other ones in the course of the year, so

perhaps I will put them together to make a collage.
The quote is from Harry Potter  and the Order of
the Phoenix by J.K.Rowling:

Early morning snow:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

This and that again

Hi Everybody!

Time is flying, once again, and I don't know

where this week went. It's cold and windy today,

so I will be spending the rest of the day at

home.

For Paint Party Friday I have another of my heads

 to share. I did an updated version of my avatar -

I gave myself a new dress! The quote is from

Shakespeare's Hamlet:

 And I snapped the other side of the street with my 

smart phone camera:

Our lingerie shop:

Our little Christmas Market:

And I discovered this photo on my phone when I

was downloading the pics - I must have taken

this wonderful photo of my left foot and

blanket while polishing the screen:

 

 Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!

New Challenge at More Mixed Media

Hi Everybody!

Today we are starting a new challenge at

More Mixed Media -

Our challenges are all anything goes, this time

with optional white. Mixed media projects of
all formats are welcome, and you have 2 weeks
to link to us.

I was not sure what to make - white is not really my

favourite, and in the end I cased one of my old

journal pages, just making it larger (A3) this time.

The BG was painted with gesso with a hint of blue here 

and there. The image is from Gecko Galz, and was glazed 

with Paper Artsy frosting glaze and then sprinkled with

some glitter. The snow balls were made with a puff pen 

in white, the stars were in my stash,

as was the glittery reindeer and the sled. The white trees

are TH branch trees. I used frosting glaze and structure

paste to make the ice and snow. The whole BG

was rubbed with ice Stickles.
I am also linking to Simon Wednesday Challenge,
anything goes.

The ice and fog from the weekend have been replaced

with damp, grey weather. I took some shots of the

Christmas decorations in the shop here:

The Town Hall:

The house with the lights is where my hairdresser is:

I was pleased to see that the gulls are getting into the 

Christmas spirit:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by!
