Recent Snow and Ice

-


Here is a picture of a bush on the side of my house.  As you can see it bears the fruit of the recent snow and ice we received earlier in the week.  I failed to capture the sun sparkling on the ice though.  It was quite beautiful.  Today it is -1 outside.  I was grateful my camera worked OK.


Here is a shot I took over the house that is across the street from me.  The sunlight on the ice is more visible in this shot.  This kind of photo moment really gets my imagination stirred.  I think of ice dragons and goblins running amok.  Little ice fairies flying all over the place coating the world in ice.  Oh, fun back to the studio for me.

Ohhh! B-r-r-r-rrrrrr!
Here we're having a heatwave - we've had 3 days in a row over one hundred degrees F with a record-breaking 42.6 celsius two days ago- unprecedented in Tasmania. It'a 6.30 am and feels a little cooler today - I'd love some of that ice - I don't cope with heat at all well.

Wish I could send you some it. Your heat sounds dreadful. That is why I hate summer here in Cincinnati.

OK , without further ado here is my entry for the ADO Art Dolls Only challenge The Elements . Please go visit the ADO blog to see some of the great entries for this challenge. Introducing for the first time anywhere, the Mergoblin . He is the first of his kind to grace my blog and studio. Several of his relatives are planning a visit real soon. He is a polymer clay one of a kind sculpt. He has a recycled head that was made for an earlier project. The eyes are fresh water pearls that have been dyed. His tail is made from a type of willow tree. I know the photography isn't spectacular but, I wanted to get him up on the blog in time. Here is a closer view of his head area. This is the other side view. He is mounted on a wooden base suspended by a wire inserted into a brass tube. I painted the brass tube blue to match the stand. This was a fun challenge that got me to think outside my usual box. Hope you enjoy him.

You aren't seeing things.  I have posted this piece before.  But, this time is different.  I wanted to celebrate two things in my little life.  First is hitting 140 followers here on this blog.  I am so honored by the loyal friends who come and visit me and my art goings on.  Thank you for that support and encouragement.  Secondly, a good friend and artist I know really inspired me with her own unique spiritual perspectives on giving.  So, MarZel this is to honor your wonderful contribution to my world as well. The above piece is only about 6x8 inches in size.  But, it's spirit is mighty.  At least to me it is.  The intention while creating it was to honor the trees that are constantly sacrificed sometimes without thought or honor for humankind.  In many cases without a thought, just discarded because they are in our way.  The trees are our guardians, give us food, shelter, many things we use i...
