Let it snow!

    We may get some snow tonight.  Oh I hope so.  I know I will be tired of it in a few days or even hours, but it is winter and we should get at least one, don't you think?  I envy those places that have a bounty of the white stuff!
     I am loving these inchie challenges this year (well, I have every year, haven't I?).  The idea of a different country every week is cool.  This week was France.  Some of my ancestry is French.   I am learning - very slowly - to speak some French.  So this was a great week.  I chose the Eiffel Tower, some lavender and the flag. 
     For Joey's challenge we had to use string #237 and the tangle didada.   I happened to have my new set of fineliners out so I decided on a cold color - blue!  I am okay with how this turned out.  Wish it had been a bit better, but . . .
     If you are interested in free coloring pages, go to www.colorit.com/prayer and check out the free 10 pages they are sending.  This one is from that set.  My Grandma had some bluish glass jars and I tried to get that same look.  I used Derwent Inktense pencils and a marker for the words.
    I am still trying to "conquer" grayscale coloring.  I want mine to look like those I have seen that look like a photo.  This one is better than the other one I did, but still not as vibrant and sharp as some I look at.  I will get there - I hope.
    Now I am off to finish up another coloring page and do another grayscale tutorial. And to repeatedly look out the window!  Would it help if I broke into a Frozen chorus of "Do You Want to Build a Snowman"?  No, probably not.  I do not have any musical bones in my body!  Why hurt anyone's ears?
     Thanks for dropping by and I hope you are having a very blessed day!  Hugs!

  1. Très beaux! I've never seen lavender bloom in France, I was always too late or too early :-)

  2. Lovely work. I like how the Joey tile looks like it has ice forming on it.

  4. Oh I think I have the same set of fineliners, I love all the shades of blues, perfect for winter! I realized after that I should have used Didada long ways like you did!
