And Yet Another Snowy Day!

Here we go again.....

 The visibility really is this bad.

 I always do a wonderful business at the bird feeder during a storm. The birds

use up so much energy during this kind of weather so I went out last 

night to restock before the snow came in.

 Rocky is a 90 pound Chocolate Lab and he is having so much trouble

moving around in this snow.

Thank you for getting me back in mommy! I don't like it out there.

 

 

My dear husband is overwhelmed with the snow, he is running

out of room to put it! (and for health reasons the doctor said

no snow shoveling for me, so he is on his own ...)

 

 

But the cavalry showed up.....

 Thank you neighbor Ted!

 

 

On another subject, I had a 50% off coupon for Michaels and treated

myself to yet another glass dome. I'm thinking spring display, maybe

a small nest with eggs....spring can't be too far away, I hope!

Bell Jars and Curiosity Boxes and How Much I Love to Use Glass!

I have discovered that I do like to put things either under, in or behind glass. I think that doing so gives it

a sense of being curated as something special, something to stop and take your time and really look at.

In the picture above I put one of the snowmen from my collection under a bell jar as part of my Christmas decorations.

 Next it is being used as a nature arrangement along with Valentines Day decorating. This lovely little Queen of Hearts doll has been purchased.

The twig tree, pine cone, rock, feathers and one of my paper clay birdies all work together beautifully in my humble opinion. I made the fabric hearts many years ago out of old quilt squares.

A grouping of found feathers in a recycled jar.

My little curiosity boxes were looked at and admired by many people, but no one committed to owning one until I covered the recycled cigar box with glass.....

.....and that is just what the missing element was all along.

Continuing with the same idea, my small 3x3 art prints create an instant touch of finished art just about anywhere and would not be the same without the glass bevel covering it.

Lastly, this original wearable artwork done on a wee little piece of vintage ledger paper from 1895. Sandwiched between two pieces of glass it becomes a curated link between the past and present.

Thanks for spending time with me today!
