We've awoken to Christmas card scenes the last few mornings - just as the snow had melted, it has been replaced by the most incredible frosts. Silken spider threads have become ropes of ice and tiny, delicate whiskers of white grow out of every twig and leaf. It really is nature at her most creative and makes the frozen fingers and car scraping worthwhile just to see it!
I played with these frosty fushias giving them back some warmth with a few maidens. The ladies are from a collage sheet I bought on Etsy. A bit of a floral dance for my friends The Three Muses.
Wouldn't you love to watch a freeze-framed film (pun intended!) of how these ice whiskers form?

Very cool (no pun intended) flower maidens. Now I'm wishing we had beautiful frost like that here -- we only get a little bit on the grass. So great that you can enjoy the beauty of winter.
ReplyDeleteA really incredible and beautiful collage, love especially the atmosphere you create here with colours. Bravo bravo

ReplyDeleteThis is something that draws you into a magical place. A gateway to that place. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I'm saying this about winter, but this is so beautiful and unique to the season. We don't have pretty frost like this--just a couple feet of the white stuff, and it's SO cold!! And the way you used it--ahhh, even better.
