Coming down out of the freezing sky with its depths of light, like an angel, or a Buddha with wings, it was beautiful, and accurate, striking the snow and whatever was there with a force that left the imprint of the tips of its wings — five feet apart — and the grabbing thrust of its feet, and the indentation of what had been running through the white valleys of the snow — and then it rose, gracefully, and flew back to the frozen marshes to lurk there, like a little lighthouse, in the blue shadows — so I thought: maybe death isn’t darkness, after all, but so much light wrapping itself around us — as soft as feathers — that we are instantly weary of looking, and looking, and shut our eyes, not without amazement, and let ourselves be carried, as through the translucence of mica, to the river that is without the least dapple or shadow, that is nothing but light — scalding, aortal light — in which we are washed and washed out of our bones.

SLS Lines...New Challenge

Here I am again...for my sins..lol. This canvas is a design team make for the wonderful team over at SLS Lines. A new challenge is set to begin this evening and the theme is Half 'O' Ween..so feel free to make any Halloween creations. The challenge will run for the next month so there is plenty of time to get your entry in. For all details of the challenge, please check the SLS Lines blog. For my make, I decided to work with this wonderful Calavera. Most of you know that I have a bit of a thing for all things Halloween/ Day of the Dead.
For my make, I began by covering the canvas board with some blue acrylic paint. I coloured the lady with my promarkers and then cut her out and added her to the canvas. I finally added the sentiment. This was a great image to colour...I loved the hair and all the details of the face painting.

I keep trying to have the window open..it's a running battle with the kittens..lol. It's open at the moment..Raven is running round the studio roof and having a right time. I have to say that she doesn't run very elegantly..lol As she runs her legs kick out to the side..it's so funny to watch.

Well the coffee is calling again and then it will be time to go down and make dinner. It's fish, potatoes and salad. Easy making for me tonight and then I have a nice pile of work piling up.I waiting for about 4 pieces to come through and then I can be busy all through the weekend. This week seems to have gone really quickly..my pens had better grow wings with the pile that is waiting..lol. So until next time...take care and happy crafting.
