A “not-so-silent” night…

Over the past several year Christmas Eve has become my favorite time of the entire holiday season. My husband and I spend the evening with our four children, their significant others and their children, as we gather for an evening of relaxed family time. Far from it being a “silent night” it is a noisy, fun, happy time with lots of shared memories being recalled & stories being told, many games being played and plenty of delicious food to snack on throughout the evening. Although we have another family gathering on Christmas Day that includes the grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, it just can’t top Christmas Eve. I hope that you have a tradition or two that you look forward to enjoying this year or even that you begin a brand new one. Time with those you love is precious, more so each year.
I’m finishing up the last of the snowflake images in today’s post. I started posting them last week, if you’d like to see them all you can go back through the last seven posts. Enjoy!

May blessings fall on you and those you love, quietly and gently, like snowflakes on a dark winter’s night.
Much love this Christmas and throughout the New Year,

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…
Last week I started posting images of the designs I created for my Christmas cards this year. Time passes so quickly this time of year, by tomorrow they will all be posted online! I appreciate you taking time out of your busy holiday schedule to view the images and read my blog posts. If you find these after the holidays have past perhaps they will help you recapture the magic of the season one more time!

This is the only time of year I not only enjoy having snowflakes in the air and snow on the ground, I actually hope for it. Ah, the magic of a “White Christmas” is a wonderful thing!
May your days be merry & bright,

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
Last week I started posting images from this year’s Christmas cards. Using the same technique as I make my mandala images I created over 30 different “snowflake” designs. Here is today’s assortment:

‘Tis the Season…
Christmas is fast approaching and I’ve been a bit neglectful of my blog while I’ve been working on holiday projects and a last minute commission for a client. Just so my blog isn’t stagnant for the next week or so I am going to start featuring some images from the Christmas cards I made this year. If you’ve followed the blog over the last few months you know about my passion lately for making mandalas! Using the same technique I designed these cards to look like snowflakes and, just like the real snowflakes, no two are alike. I had a bit of technical difficulty with my scanner (okay, I’ll admit it, it’s just plain old & worn out!) so the contrast and brightness is adjusted on these images in hopes of compensating for the less-than-perfect scan. I hope you enjoy viewing these as much as I did creating them!

I hope all your holiday plans are going well and you are taking time to enjoy the season. It rushes by us in a hurry while we are busy tending to all the details.

Abstract & Mixed
Last month I posted the first image of a new series I had started working on, musing at that point how the rest would turn out. Well, I’m done musing and done with the other pieces as well! Here are images of the other four:
abstract #2, mixed media, 12x14", $225 (c) 2009, Lynne Medsker
abstract #3, mixed media, 12x14", $225 (c) 2009, Lynne Medsker
abstract #4, mixed media, 12x14", $225 (c) 2009, Lynne Medsker
abstract #5, mixed media, 12x14", $225 (c) 2009, Lynne Medsker
It was fun incorporating the used parts and recycled materials into these compositions!
All five of these pieces will be for sale at the Holiday Art Show, TOMORROW, Friday, December 11th. Be sure and come visit me there between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. at the ArtsGarden in Circle Center Mall! There will be about 20 local artists all displaying their work for your holiday shopping enjoyment. Remember, it is one day only (and you’ll be sorry if you miss it)! For more information you can CLICK HERE.
Happy shopping!

Back to mini art!
"mini art #59" mixed media, 5x7, $75 (c) 2009, Lynne Medsker
I finished a few more pieces of mini art over the weekend so I thought I’d share them with you this morning. I had sold the last mini “river rocks” piece I made and had a request for another one…so I figured while I was in that groove I’d just make several!

"mini art #63" mixed media, 5x7, $75 (c) 2009, Lynne Medsker
I also had a request for a mini featuring a beaver. Sounded like a fun challenge so, after looking a few reference photos this is what I came up with.

The river rock pieces will be available at the Holiday Art Show this Friday. (Click here for more details!)

I hope everyone is staying warm & safe during the blustery weather.

Double duty
Thought I would share images of some new art while I also gave you a last-minute reminder! 
These are a few of the new holiday ornaments I’ve been working on. They’ll be traveling to the Holiday Art Sale this Friday. They are also samples of some of the ornaments you could make at this evenings “Ten Buck Tuesday” open studio event! 
Be sure and stop by the studio today sometime between 4 and 8 p.m. and get your creative groove on for the holidays! Also, come out to the ArtsGarden at Circle Center Mall this Friday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. to pick up some awesome, affordable, local art from 20 local artists!
