What I did with my Snow Day

I did nothing with my snow day. I went for a walk and took pictures of the snowy city landscape (see blog post 'Winter Walk'). I worked on my cardboard Mesopotamian lion demon mask and am almost done with it. I ate a slice of cheesecake while watching Pan's Labyrinth, which made me sick. Then near the end of the movie, my laptop froze and I had a five minute freak session as I tried turning off my laptop and getting the DVD out. I fixed it and finished the movie. I colored in some coloring books and watched TV. So, I didn't do very much today.


Here is the Little Mermaid page that I colored today with my markers (I sound like such a kid).

I actually started this drawing yesterday when it first began snowing. She's some sort of snow faery. Back in high school, I painted a series of watercolor paintings of Snow Queens spurred on by The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe movie. Here again I used my markers but with colored pencil added in. I found these really awesome photos of a Snow Queen ballet through Google on the Internet machine. The costumes are sweet and the theatrics are haunting in that fantastically cool Ice Queen way! I wish I could see it live (or at least on television)!!!


If I could go back and live my snow day over, I would try to get a lot more done. Maybe like a nap or two. Oh well, Friday is suppose to be a high of 68.
