Artichoke and another snowman~

Thank you sweet ladies for all your comments on my previous post. I love all your words of encouragement!

Here’s the outcome of the artichoke attempt. It’s not bad, but I think I’ll keep playing with the design, then maybe offer the pattern for it. I’m also working on a pattern for a different kind of pineapple. We’ll see how it turns out!

Finished this guy up late last night.

I’m loving the way the dry brush paint on the heads look. I can see this guy holding a heart for Valentines too! Then he’d be a long winters friend.

It’s very cold here this morning, but the sun is shining and the forecast said high 40’s, whoohoo!  I’m not a cold weather person, by any means. Give me sun, mid 70’s and sandy beaches and I’m a happy girl! Guess I was a beach bum in a previous life. Smiles….

Well, gotta make my rounds today~ selling booth, consignment shops, then back to working on some more snowies. Time sure if flying by!

Have a wonderful and creative day!

Merry Blessings, Jean

  3. Oh Jean - I'm falling heart over heels in love with your wonderful snow folk!! They're absolutely wonderful!!! (And the artichoke turned out great too!) Happy Tuesday! Stay warm - we're actually supposed to be in the 30's today. Unbelievable warmth given that we've been in the single digits too much already this season!! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

  6. Your work is amazing Jean!
    I made a snowman last year from a pattern I purchased from Vicki at OHB and I kept him out through Valentine's day holding a heart. After all it is still winter on Feb 14th!
    Hope you are staying warm.
