Sanjajući snijeg

Dakle, mislila sam da bi jedan Božić možda mogao proći bez Halle, ali to je bilo vrlo budalasto od mene. Iako sam ove godine više za tople i tradicionalne boje Božića, htjela sam obojati i jednu "ledenu" kartolinu, pa... eto je. :) A kad se već danas smrzavam nekako cijeli dan, logično je bilo objaviti baš nju sljedeću u nizu.
Našla sam se, doduše, u problemu kada sam ju krenula sastavljati, jer sam ostala bez ledeno-zimsko-frozen-hladnih papira, pa sam improvizirala s onime što imam. Rekla bih da je ispalo baš ok. Jedino se Halla malo previše kvarcala, te sam nakon ove čestitke na ostalima kožu bojala za nijansu svjetlije (vidjet ćete uskoro). Ipak je zima, a ne ljeto. Nadam se da to ipak nije ubilo čaroliju zime koju sam pokušala dočarati. :)
Jako volim svoje Stickles, ali za njene grijače i pompone koristila sam glitter u prahu, čija se količina drastično smanjuje. A i Sticklesi su već pri kraju, a ja nisam cura koja može živjeti bez svojih svjetlucavih stvarčica. Uskoro ću morati u nabavku. ;)

Hallini poljupci

Imate neki déjà vu feeling? Već ste ovo vidjeli ove godine? Ili prošle? ... A da... malo sam se CASE-ala. :) Ne mogu si pomoći kada je riječ o zimskim vilama Mo Manning, pa se tako Halla našla rame uz rame sa Talvom u ledenom izdanju i ove godine. 
Moram priznati da sam odgađala bojanje ovih dviju ljepotica, jer nisam htjela da toliko podsjećaju na lanjske kartoline, ali onda sam si rekla - pa i Jan Mraz je uvijek u istoj odjeći! :) :) :)
Sviđa mi se ovaj hladni look i blještavilo, dojam ledenog, smrznutog, svjetlucavog, ispucanog... Rado bi nakratko prošetala noću po snijegu. Slušala tišinu i mir koji donosi. Ah... Možda mi se posreći iduće godine. :)

Prvi snijeg

Da, znam da ga nema još ni blizu, ali nekako me to nije spriječilo da izaberem Talvu za prvog protagonista među mojim ovogodišnjim božićnim kartolinama. Poljubac koji daje sniježnoj grudi tako mi je neodoljiv, a ledene boje u skladu su s bojom kišnog neba vani. Znate li zašto ju još volim? Šljokice! Brdo šljokica! Glitter stvarno je Prozac s vremena na vrijeme, a ovdje ne možete pretjerati s njim. :)
Volim monochrome, iako ga baš ne koristim često. Sivi tonovi za to su mi najdraži. A i dobro se slažu sa srebrnim detaljima i šljokicama. :) :) :)

Vjerujete li u jednoroge?

Posljednja iz bajkovitog tria A Day For Daisies ilustracija - Unicorn Friend. Moja se djevojčica zaljubila u nju na prvi pogled. Naravno da je željela znati jesam li ju obojala za njen rođendan. :) Kao da bih ja bila toliko neoprezna, pa izrađivala nešto za nju njoj pred nosom. I to toliko mjeseci unaprijed... Mislim, za koga me smatra? :)

Recite, ne obožavate li i vi tu genijalnu kombinaciju ljubičaste i bijele? Iako je možda već i isfurana, meni je još uvijek oku jako ugodna. 

Osim same ilustracije ono što prizor čini magičnim je malo šljokica na drvenim zvijezdicama i Crackle Accent na krilima vile. 

Nadam se da ste se sa mnom bar na tren vratili u ono divno doba kada su nam bajke bile sve. Ja ih i dan danas smatram esencijalnim dijelom zdravog djetinjstva i svoju ljubav prema njima pokušavam istetovirati na svoju djecu. :)
