Sugar and Ice and All Things Nice

Heart and Kiss Whitman's Ad

Just about the time when all the shops are full of Valentines and my head is full of visions of sugarplum fairies....and large heart shaped boxes of chocolates and romance and champagne, we were hit by a massive ice storm which very prettily coated the trees and bicycles and everything.



So while the power was out (yes we have a generator thank God!) I was stuck inside thinking about Love and Rain and I had hundreds of those little colored bits of paper you get inside a hole puncher lying about. So I created this collage called Love In the Rain and quite like the swirly nature of it all. Makes me think of the fleeting nature of love .... and ice storms.



Do you have anything special planned for Valentine's Day?

    what a really lovely way to express the holiday -and the weather combined :) We were very lucky not to have lost power during the ice storm. So glad you were able to be a bit more comfortable with a generator.

    Lovely whimsy in this collage. Like the way you drew the people and added the confetti and swirls.
