Winter Finds

Today the air has a definite chill.

Still the sun has a warming, healing effect.

Out and about here are a few snaps

I captured today out in the yard.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

I couln't resist taking a snap

of our cute girl China.

She was enjoying soaking

up the sun and didn't seem

cold one bit.  Of course

with that woolie coat who

would be?

I see there are a few berries left still on

the crab apple tree.  The birdies haven't

           snaffled them all as of yet.                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Here's China sprawled out,

enjoying some R & R









 

A new card created from some vintage pictures and

a picture of a barren tree in a yard with some

towee's from last winter, collaged into a winter card.

 And last but not least, a welcome

wrought iron sign at my front door.

  I guess the winter mum's

are almost finished.   A friend

brought them over

one day, and they were

lovely to brighten the corner

of our porch.

In the mood for creamy white

Addicted to graphic art, new fun card designed.  With talk of white, I needed to change things up a bit on my blog.  That, and in the distance there was a dusting of white on the tops of the mountains. I was convinced.    I don't know if you are like me but I change pic's quite often, need to shake up things a bit and get the olde creative juices flowing.

An idea from a fellow artist for using papers and such.  How about a recipe book, collage, altered, what ever you may, share recipes back and forth with friends.   Great idea for a quick gift, for that someone special.

I hunted through my bits and bobbles of jewelry, and came up with the focal for this new creation.  I think it should be called Give a Bow.  A re purposed larger sized bow is asymettrically placed, alongside some vintage faux pearls and bronze pearls.  A tiny brass bird and heart, because a girl just can't have too many of either.
And I had just enough matching pearls left to add matching earrings.
