...in our house. The Christmas feeling has hit the main floor, and the large 'Christmas Tree' has been decorated.
Our condo has only room for one large tree, and this 40-year-old croton is it.
Things have been apace in the studio, as more ornaments were completed.
And as always, the little extra decor projects sneak up, and John decided our tiny 2-foot tree needed a tree skirt (I'm glad he didn't feel that way about the large tree!!), so I hacked a circle of fabric out of a sheet I use for alcohol ink protection when I'm playing with them.
While I thought it was a wee bit colourful to start with, you know how that goes! I got playing with markers and Golden High Flow Acrylics,
and it got a whole lot wilder. Have I told you recently that I am the Colour Pig to end all colour pigs?
At the end of it all, the mini tree is dancing in a new skirt, and I had a blast with markers and paint.
What could possibly be more fun? 🎄🎉🌟🎨💖
Oh, these decorations are really great! I love them!
ReplyDeleteYour 'original' tree is really working, it's so festive, joyful and colourful.
As for the little tree, it's ready to celebrate with its luxurious skirt.
I'd love to have the same. :)
What's more, it's great fun!
You're really enjoying yourself, aren't you?
It warms my heart.
Lots of kisses from here!
( And many thanks for your super-comments, my dear Win)
Ha! Sim, I was thinking the same thing about that skirt...every time I play with high flow acrylics, my mouth starts watering and I want a whole new wardrobe! 🤣 Andyes, I certainly do enjoy myself in the studio...and right back at you about the comments. You always brighten my week with yours! xo
DeleteMy dear friend you don't need to tell me that you're a Colour Pig! I already knew it and it has become increasingly obvious that you were well absorbed in finding the brightest colours to add to your art work. I love it, you have no fear of using any colour no matter how vivid they may be. Loving your Christmas trees too, can't wait to get ours out and set up. Have a good weekend. Hugs Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteColour Piggery rules in this basement studio, Angela, as you well know. And I do hope that you show a photo of your tree when you get it up and glowing - would LOVE to see it! Hugs right back to you, my friend!!
DeleteI love your Croton Tree so colorful it's prefect for you. Once I created a tree out of flocked tumble weeds, decorated with blown egg shells painted many patterns and colors. It would have looked great with your cute tree skirt.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best and very grateful for your friendship. Hugs,
Deann
Oh, my - did you get a photo of your flocked tumbleweed tree? I would LOVE to see that. It sounds so very creative, and so much like you!!
DeleteAnd I'm doubling that friendship gratitude and sending it right back to you. You are a bright spot in my week, my friend. xo
Tis the season for color to bring light into these grey days. Love all the vibrant energy you create❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely comment - many thanks. And yes, any colour and light we can bring into our winter homes certainly lifts the spirits!!
DeleteIt all looks gorgeous! Of course, there isn't a scrap of Christmas decoration in our house as I try to get my head around the summer weather 🤣
ReplyDeleteBetween the summer weather and you working to ready the season for your congregation, I can well imagine the last-minute scramble in your household. Good luck, in sunny Australia!
