A Christmas 'Present'

 Hi beautiful people, seasons greetings to all. I was up with the lark this morning, that's the lark, not a lark.;) Looked out my hall window and the sky was very pink and interesting. 


So I got into some warm clothes and hurried out into the freeze with my camera. Rewarded by the most gorgeous images of a huge sun reflected in the ice in the clouds,.










 I think they are spectacular, but I let you folks be the judge.


the sun is still quite low beneath the treeline, what you are seeing is  reflection off the ice in the atmosphere.


getting a little more intense

two suns
 It was really , really cold but it woke me up and I thought , 'why don't I do this every morning? All this beauty around me and I hardly ever come out to appreciate, well maybe once a month. Anyway, I know why. It's because I'm busy . Busy being busy. Best get busy enjoying life and what's around me before its too late!

You may be asking yourself , well whats all this got to do with Lucinda Brown's Gallery? Well, this is where I live and my inspiration comes as a result of all that I encounter here and in my own heart 
so the answer is, Everything.


I thought these were quite interesting as well, the light was amazing and it's giving me some ideas about my future projects. I'm bringing you on my journey of creativity right here. From the germ of an idea to the creation of something unique.


 I saw myself in shadow on the bark of the treesNo photo-shopping here 
the light was wonderful.



Then I turned for home.


Today I got back into some clay and began working with some texture I made of a bunch of Carex grass, with the big droopy seed heads. I laid them in a swirl and rolled the clay over them. The clay tablet was fired to bisque and I used it to make some lovely textures on the beginnings of a tall vase and a smaller vessel. Pictures maybe later.... the clay is still going off at the moment.
Ella is still working elsewhere until the season begins again,I really miss her!
My girls are my honorary kids, actually Eleanor was here the other day and we worked out that she could actually be my honorary GRANDKID ! I think best not to go there....:)
 well I'm going to leave you with the customary smile.....

 

Just in case you’re planning to do a little cooking...    

 


To keep potatoes from budding,
place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.


 

Buy Smash mashed potato mix.
Keeps in the cupboard for up to a year.


 



When a cake recipe calls for flouring
the baking tin, use a bit of dry cake
mix instead and there won't be any
white mess on the outside of the cake.  
 

Go to the bakery!
Hell, they'll even decorate it for you!


 
  


 



Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting
in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

Celery?
Never heard of it!


 
  


 



Cure for headaches: take a lime, cut it in half and
rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.


 

Take a lime, mix it with tequila,
chill and drink! All your pains go away!


 



Don't throw out all that leftover wine.
Freeze into ice cubes for future use
in casseroles and sauces.

Leftover wine??????? 
HELLO!!!!!!


Lastly, if you don't forward this to one of your friends within the next 5 minutes, your belly button will unscrew and your butt will fall off
Remember! Stress is something we do to ourselves. Good advice the week before Christmas I think! Take care and big hugs to you all.Lucinda
