snowing in St. Ives

1. *** 2. . 3. following the light of the sun we left the old world 4. "out of the bosom of the airout of the cloud folds of her garments shakenover the woodlands brown and bareover the harvest fields forsakensilent, and soft, and slow descends the snow" 5. winter wonderland 2 6. a conversation 7. cold 8. snow seed memory 9. Alfred snowman

Yes ... it's snowing in St. Ives!
enough snow for birdie prints
... and like a child ... I'm very excited about this ...

Snowy greetings and blessings to you all :o)

Monika ... the photos are from flickr and I put the links underneath the photo so please do go and visit the artists' work ... they are all so gorgeous!

I think if snowflakes were musical they would sound like a ... winter harp ...

What a lovely festive post..... I am loving that harp.

Sitting here with a cup of tea and two rich tea biscuits and a post from you..... heavenly, especially with the harp :)

Dear Carolyn
I want to say how much I love your snow effects you have on your other blog, Love stitching red, & the snow flakes here. The music is also calming & nice as well.

Where I am in Australia it is very warm & seeing the snow is very cooling :-) Thank You

Hi Carolyn,
I have been trying to get in touch with you for a while now. My name is Jodie Harvey and I am studying art and design at a-level at the minute. I have been so inspired by your work for the last few years, and have found most of my work being very similar to your own. I was just wondering if you would mind possibly answering a few questions as I have to complete an assessment essay on an artist that has been most inspiration to me. I would greatly appreciate this.
If possible could you forward me your email address or if it would suit you better, email me at jodieharvey33@hotmail.co.uk.
Than you for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear from you soon :-)
Jodie.

love the snow images- cold but poetic and quiet mediation.

Carolyn: we are "friends" on the sketchbook site, but sad to say I have been way too slow in working on my book. I am DETERMINED to send something in January! In the meantime, I am working on a three inch winter swap with two friends, and my little pieces were inspired by your lovely winter 9 patch .I am working in fabric and would love to send you a collection of odds and ends (some chosen for inclusion and some rejected) from that project. Will you send your address to me?Sharon at crzydqltr@cox.net. Love both your blogs!!!
