Well, it's March, time for the first green leaves here in Texas and of course St. Paddy's Day, so just to change up my journal ready for spring, here are some recent green beauties from my faves gallery. Enjoy!





Outside of feathering my nest in green I have little to report from the art front. I'm currently in the process of finishing my latest Snape commish and have gone through some serious herringbone ripple addiction (keep your eyes peeled for more posts!) I'm also looking forward to breaking out the old silver clay again. In warmer weather it always dries better. I have a nice replica coin of Alexander the Great that I want to set, and there are a few lovely dark blue glass cabs that could do with being made into pendants. And for drawings, well there are still a few Game of Thrones characters waiting, and I want to add to my lizards with probably a crested gecko and a portrait of my lovely beardie, Mo'o, who is now 6 months old and quite photogenic.

Work has been eating up most of my time, though we did spend a nice long weekend in New Orleans to celebrate a friend's birthday (not a good move for shedding winter fat, that's for sure...). We also went to England for a few days, as my mother-in-law recently passed away. It was a sad occasion, but at least it brought the rest of the family together. We also did a few good projects around the house: the bathrooms are now tiled in pretty dark green slate, the house has a whole new set of insulated windows, and we got our busted water heater for the hot tub fixed. So overall life is pretty good!

Snape? : perks up : Harry Potter? Yes please! :D

Isn't that a coincidence! We have to repaint our cabinets and we're leaning towards green. :) I'm sorry about your mother-in-law. :hug:

Yes, definitely, it's the third in a set of commishs illustrating a fanfic. The other two are "Family" and "The Busker"

Thank you for your kind words about my mother-in-law's passing. She was a really wonderful woman, definitely not your "typical" mum-in-law.

I think a nice green can be such a perk around the house. More energy than your tans, creams and taupes, yet less in your face than a strong blue or red...

You're welcome, it is heartbreaking when a good person leaves the world. :hug:

I agree with you on the color, although overall green is not one of my favorite colors, blue is my favorite. Usually I like having the walls a shade of white, that way you can add pictures and things to customize the room. I also have this dream of each room having it's own theme, and then a wall would be painted to fit that theme (like the beach or a forest). Just an idea I have for when I get my own house. :)
