Christmas Greetings

It's that time of year!  We made ornaments with nail polish, above is a cluster of them - made more by the kaleidoscope effect.  Have a good year in 2015 everyone!

My Beach Bowl

The beach in a bowl with more sand, some glass 'water' elements and a rock of Sea Jasper tucked on the edge.   Putting the Sea Jasper back in the sea and the bowl is round!  Anyhow had fun doing it.

Day at the beach

While not truly a fairy garden - I bought this "Day at the Beach" from American Zen with the hopes of turning it into a mini beach garden.  It was so complete I just set it up as it was sand, sling chair, umbrella, beach ball, sandals and sea shells to boot. The whole thing is just 4 inches square. I had started my search looking for a mini Adirondack chair but the shipping cost was prohibitive. 

cannon fodder

Bowling balls from the previous mandala were cannon fodder for the hourly cannon shot into Lake Estes, keeping time for the Scottish Highland Games.  I chuckled when I saw the pile, not on a brass monkey - but stacked the same.  

bowling balls

This is a pile of variously colored bowling balls,  They were at the Scottish Highland Games.  I'll leave you in suspense for a day as to why.
