The First Day of Christmas with Smeared and Smudged

The first of the 12 days that the folks over at the Smeared and Smudged forum have organised. For full details please go to the forum.
My project is also the challenge that I am setting as GDT for December.
A Yule Log



I used all natural elements gathered from my garden and surrounding area, log,holly,ivy, evergreen branches. There are 3 logs wired together. Some holes drilled in to house the candles.
Then some stamped images were coloured with promarkers.
I chose the images stamped for me by a friend from Smeared Ink. These depict the four "elements" of Water, Earth, Fire and Air.








































Air and water have been coated in UTEE. All images are held in place with wire, coiled to hold the pics and secured to the log

Please see the blog hop list over on my side bar to visit all the other awesome pieces created by my fellow artists.

Day 2 is on sat 3rd dec so please pop back for more.
