One of my favourites to date. No Christmas collection would be complete without the reason… / Probably will do a few more Christmas collection cards… this one is a Fractalius background I created with some beautiful leaves, and the cross is made up of copies of my red lily bloom, and there’s always a little help from the angels… ;-)

One of a series of cards delving in to the inner psyche of a lonely lil’ snowman named Flake. Here we try to empathise what it is like for him when it snows. For fully moving versions with sound n everyfin…pushing the boundaries of digital animation to da max at www.snowmanflake.com.
Snowflake (music link/lyrics) Hey-ey-ey snowflake / My pretty little snowflake / Ooh, ooh, the change in the weather / Has made it better for me. / Hey-ey-ey snowflake, my pretty little snowflake / You’ve got me warm as a fire / With the burning desire for you. Snow was falling when love came calling / On this lonely heart of mine. / You were standing there with snow flaked in your hair. / You kept stalling while my thoughts were calling / On every way I knew / For one excuse to get acquainted with you Then I said / Snow flake my pretty little snowflake / Ooh, ooh, the change in the weather / Has made it better for me. / Hey-ey-ey snowflake, my pretty little snowflake / You’ve got me warm as a fire / With the burning desire for you. The ice was breaking and / Love was waking in a winter wonderland. / When I felt you slip your fingers in my hand. / Now snow is gleaming and / I’m not dreaming I know this is for real. / The love I have is too much to conceal. Hey-ey-ey snowflake / My pretty little snowflake / Ooh, ooh, the change in the weather / has made it better for me. / Hey-ey-ey snowflake, my pretty little snowflake / You’ve got me warm as a fire / With the burning desire for you… Fractal Kaleidoscope done in Sterling2 with post work in PaintShopPro and Gimp.

It’s that transitional time of year, when warm days fade into cool evening and colder dawns. The last leaves glow softly on tree branches, as the woods sink into their yearly sleep … waking only for the bright celebration of Yuletide and the sun’s Solstice return. This is a collage made of cut and layered paper with my own sketch of a tree scene that I saw in a waking dream. Enjoy.
Another in my Christmas/Holiday card series. This one was a lot of fun, I have to share with you how it came about. The lovely blue spruce tree is in my front garden, it’s huge, and last Christmas after the BIG snow we had on Christmas Eve, I ran out for a second and shot a few pics of the lovely blue sky and the tree with tons of snow on its blue-green branches. Then, I took a shot of a furry toy animal I have and just zoomed in on the long fur, using Fractalius to make it look like long strands of blowing snow…this was all juxtaposed together, and voila! Ain’t Photoshop fun? Heehee… ;-)

Ever thought what it’s really like to be made of snow when it’s snowing?
Now that’s just mean, who put that on him?

For the next few uploads I will be putting up some Christmas/Holiday cards getting ready (I know, it’s not that far off is it?) for the obvious hols coming up. So, I hope you will think of my collection when looking for some special ones. I’ll have between four and eight different designs from my photos and post-processing as per usual! ;-)
Another one of my latest holiday card creations, this one a fractalised christmas tree..it was fun ;-)
