Let it snow...

let it snow, let it snow!  Well here she is... my little snow queen!  I have a sort of love hate relationship with a lot of my art.  First I love it.  Then I get real critical and I hate it!  Then again I look and I start to think I like it!  Why is that?

I experimented for the first time with molding paste, oooh what fun!  I really like this, can't wait to use it again!  I also learned a valuable lesson.  As money is a little tight right now and I'm not planning on selling my art work (it's purely for my pleasure) I purchased lots of little boards quite cheaply so that I could play to my hearts content.  The lesson is - cheaper boards and canvases are ok -ish providing you Gesso them!  This one I didn't because I was being impatient - what a difference!  I was also keen to try out my new breyer but I wanted definite snowflakes and wasn't confident I would get that so I used scrunched up paper dipped in paint!  The lettering proved a little difficult and isn't as crisp as I would have liked.  I find it hard to 'write' with a brush, but I wanted white lettering in this particular font.  Any suggestions anyone?  I find pens easier, can anyone recommend a white pen?

Anyway in the end I started to like her so much I framed her and put her on the wall!
