She Dreams of the Sea

The Magic of Snow

 

The last few years instead of New Year's resolutions,

 I set intentions and picked a word for the year.

Sometimes I pick a word for each season in the year.

This year my word is:

magical!

Yes my intention is that 2012

will be a magical, beautiful, wild and joyful year.

 

Have you chosen a word for 2012?

May the Winter Solstice bring more light into your life

May your heart be filled with love

May your home be filled with warmth

May your celebrations be filled with laughter

Merry Christmas

Joyful Yule

Happy Holidays

Love,

Light,

Beauty,

Joy,

Peace 

and

magic,

Every snowflake is a gift from Winter . . .

A Winter Day

 

branches shimmer

white fields sleep

Tiny Tea Fairy

 

I love tea, hot cups of tea on a cold morning, tea houses, tea pots.

I made this little tea pot a while ago, when I used to throw pots.

 

 

I thought it would be fun to use a tea bag to paint on.

I opened the tea bag and soaked it in tea for a while

to get a nice background color.

 

 

Then I painted The Tiny Tea Fairy with gouache and watercolor.

I then sealed it with a thin layer of gloss varnish.

 

And that was that!
