This week's drawing challenge is GARLAND
definition - a decorative wreath or cord, used at festive occasions
Right away I thought of a lovely garland I made years ago with dried natural elements.
And then I thought about the new garland I am hoping (cross my fingers ) to make this year.
BUT when I came down the stairs and looked out my window
I knew I had to share nature's garland
that is so beautifully on display in my neck of the woods.
For more interpretations of this theme make sure to visit Nadine!
Oh my goodness this outlook is just amazing! Fancy viewing this straight from your window!
ReplyDeleteI was intrigued about the subject of your post today because I have just posted a garland/bunting of my own based on burlap, cotton, sari silk and lace with the Madonna and child theme for Christmas! - just in case you wanted a peek!

oh wow.....the white stuff has really arrived in your neck of the woods! Looks amazing......great views!
ReplyDeleteWhat stunning views! Is that glorious window in the first photo in your studio, by any chance?
ReplyDeleteMy little studio is in the loft of our timber frame home. This window starts on the main floor of our house, and I can look through the top section when I am in my loft studio - but I mostly see it, as I walk down the stairs from the loft to the main floor. You can usually see the mountains through the trees, but the day I took this photo, the mountains were covered with clouds and it was snowing.
DeleteYou're almost making me miss arctic winter! Beautiful shots. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteTHAT's your window??!!!!
ReplyDeletewauw....
i think i could sit in that chair for hours
beautiful sight, beautiful soft white garlands
thanks for sharing!!

That's the best kind of garland -- especially when I know there must be a snowshoe hare quietly watching you somewhere back in those aspens.

ReplyDeleteoh, this is so gorgeous, kim...

Such beauty Kim! It is heaven. Do you hear animal calls often? Fox? Gulls? Wolf? I would love to see your garland from a time before now, and to see your new one if it gets made. Happy season's greetings to you. *hugs* Norma, x
