Inspired by antique crepe paper snowy shelf edging (which I can’t actually find) I decided to make a snow garland. Just draw icicle-snow patterns on a sheet of paper, cut, and stitch at the top. I used grey and white baker’s twine. This took longer than it sounds because kittens love string. And scissors. And paper.
Karrey at Seven Ten Clark is a genius because she introduced me to the idea of “freelensing” today – so here are the results! Mine are not so fancy as that link, but it was fun to play with. It probably would have turned out better not in low light, but I am an impatient person. “Patience is a virtue.” my mama would say. “Not my virtue!” I’d scowl back.

These are glorious! I love the garland, and the pictures are really stunning. I think the low light sets the perfect mood.

I love this idea–so simple but very lovely for this time of year.

Especially for those of us who live in snow-less lands!

This makes me want a mantle sooooo badly. I wonder if I could do this on the ledge of the bar.

Oh. I love this! The freelensing shots of the garland reminds me a little bit of Rankin/Bass stop-motion movies. Adorable.

I’m not usually much for fiddling with lenses and the like (just got my first dslr a few weeks ago) but I love the look of the ‘freelensing’ and am eager to give it a go!
