paper and poems

I did a set of card for an event I went to. Most of these cards have original poems that I wrote to go with the pictures I created on the fronts of the card. I am just going to let you browse though them and get a feel for what I did. It had been year since I wrote any poetry.


















As you can see the them for these cards was very much fairies and nature. It was a lot of fun to do these and great to be creative in multiple mediums. This and the next few will be just short little displays of some of my work. Then I will get into my current projects!

Trees for the Festival

Image
As it is almost the end of January, I felt that I should get myself in gear and finish my 2017 Christmas posts. Here is the process I went though this year for the two large trees and one small tree that I decorated for the Festival of Trees First I measured the spaces needed down in my basement game /family area. This tree required a 7x9 foot area and the other required a 9 by 14 foot area. Next I put the trees bag where I wanted to put the tree up in each space. Then I got my ornaments gathered. Next was assembling the trees and checking to make sure the lights worked, as they are always new trees, so far I have not had a problem with lights. Then I put some of the ornaments on, the tree topper on, and the tree skirt around it to check how I am planning it to look. Next I stack the boxes I am going to wrap to had depth and high to the display Then I put out he other items I have that go with the tree theme. This one was a Hogwarts Christmas, of course.
