6 More Weeks of Winter

Groundhog Day 1961

Well, today in the second day of the second month of the year, Phil saw his shadow this morning. Which means that 6 more weeks of winter are ahead. If only he could tell me if that counts for England as well. Because I could use a bit more winter that includes some snow in my future, I’m tired of all this rain!

The Year of the Horse

Chinese New Year 2013

Happy Chinese New Year! I quickly shot this last night in the rain as I walked down one of my favorite side streets in China Town.

There were dumpling carts everywhere, all the shops were filled with lanterns and items pertaining to the Year of the Horse.

With the rain steadily trickling down and the wind making the ruby red lanterns sway it was magical!

 

Christmas Card 2013

Well, it’s that time of year again and I thought I would share my Christmas Card with you. This year I took my inspiration from two very talented ladies. The first being Phoebe Wahl and her beautiful artwork and the second being Mindy Gledhill and her Christmas Album.

I collaged the front of the card with a selection of vintage wrapping paper and card images that I steadily collected and then cut to my desired shape.

The back of the card has a quote from Winter Moon, and a watercolor painting that I did.

I’m really pleased with how the cards turned out and I so enjoyed working on the painting of the forest evergreens that I might just make a card next year based on a painting of mine, but I have plenty of time to think about that!
