I love creating a 'feeling' such as in this card... I can sense the warmth from a fire burning inside, and candles flickering in the windows. Wouldn't you love coming home to this?
As my friends and family could tell you, I love including cabins in winter scenes. I just found a stash of cards my mom insisted I keep instead of handing out. I'm glad I listened, as it's nice to reflect on some of my earlier work. (Thanks Mom!)
The card below is from 2004. I can remember drawing this one because I spent so long getting it just right. With this one, it feels as if I'm looking down at a home where everyone's nestled in for a long winter's nap...
"Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home."

Hope everyone's enjoying their day!

Brr..... Just kidding. lol I also love to go back and look at past work. I am intrigue at what has 'stayed' and what hasn't. Love to analyze the patterns that repeat. I find it interesting. You cabin is delightfully sweet.:)
ReplyDeleteIt's cold here too! Looking at these beautiful cards suddenly makes me feel cozy as the 'nesting' instinct of winter begins to tug at the heart! A card like this is a gift as well. Beautiful!

Love your cabin! Yes, I would be side warm by the fire. Perfect scene! Happy PPF! Theresa
ReplyDeletethese are just lovely. today is the first really cool day of the season here in Massachusetts. Though I'm mourning the end of summer, I am sitting here in wool socks and a fleecy sweatshirt thinking of the cozy joy of fire in the fireplace and the down comforter on the bed. Love the night sky in your second drawing - smart mom for insisting you keep it!
ReplyDeleteLove your cabins, they're so cozy and I can just picture the family nestled warmly inside. I think it's wonderful that you hand-make all your cards.

What wonderful drawings. Makes me want to curl up in front of a fire with a good book and something delicious baking in the oven.
