dancing with crystals
~
I have a hard time erasing pencil lines, does that happen to you?
I think i am drawing light...
time to do the pencil test that a blog friend shared with me!
winter's crystals are precious to me
they are often born through the night
a morning delight
all conditions must be just right
for their temporary appearance
the forest becomes an enchanted place
and the tiniest breeze
has crystals drifting through the air

Norma from The Fairy Yellow Bug Queen is our host
of DC this week
Her prompt is: Crystal
thank you Norma!
She hangs in the balance, and her balance is GOOD! She is not going to lose her balance and that is a fact. Love the visual and the idea it portrays to my imagination. I like how the 'line' from the earth travels up through the crystal and on through the woman and on through her arm and so through the crystal she is holding and then is refracted into the ether and so the cycle continues. She is a conduit of crystal energy and light. I cannot describe how I love this. I love this. Norma, xo
ReplyDeleteI have never seen crystals such as this in your photographs; formed like butterflies en masse. The way the light shines on them and through them is beyond words beautiful. So transient, as is life. Awesome visuals thanks Tammie Lee!!! :D

ReplyDeleteI love frost crystals, Tammie Lee, but we haven't seen too many yet this winter here. thanks for sharing these beauties!
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of dancing on and with crystals but I'm totally crazy about your absolutely stunning crystal photos. I never saw this kind of breathtaking beautiful crystals on trees - will it obviously are not the right conditions here. Must be so wonderful to wonder through the forrest like in a fairytale - incredible! LOVE, love it!

I love the photos! They perfectly show the beauty of ice. I also love this girl dancing between the crystals!
ReplyDeleteEnchanting indeed. I would love to experience this myself one day. Too mild here, but perhaps in Scotland.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a lovely week, Tammie.

ReplyDeleteWOW those crystals are amazing!!! They look like tiny icy leaves! I love how you capture tiny details like that so beautifully. Love the drawing too- she has such a pretty face. I don't like erasing pencil lines either. In fact I have come around to actually preferring my drawings in pencil so have stopped outlining them with pen altogether. I like the pen in this one of yours though, it gives her a definiteness.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sketch! She has amazing balance! Love the crystals too, they are so beautiful.
ReplyDeletea lovely drawing!!!
ReplyDeleteTammie I've missed a lot here lately, your magical lands are so beautiful and wow those crystals are breathtaking! Lovely sketch too...so much to enjoy here, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am reminded of what a tenuous time of year this is … so beautiful, cold and icy … as we await in anxious balance the coming of spring.
ReplyDeleteWow, thank your for sharing these incredible gifts from nature that you captured in your photographs and drawing!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about not being able to erase pencil marks sometimes. Other times, the pencil erases but I've pressed too hard.
The aqua brush you mentioned last week is a great idea that I'm going to try out.
yes Tammie Lee, looking at crystals, taking in their colors and sparkling light feels like dancing with them, so nice to see you drawing that.
ReplyDeleteyour photos are making me wish for some more frosty nights and days, xx
Those crystal ice images are gorgeous.. and paired with wonderful words.
ReplyDeleteIt is easy to appreciate the cold temperatures when shown through the beauty of your lens; such delicate icy prisms only possible in frigid weather. Trouble with erasing pencil lines? Maybe your lead is too hard... OR too soft. I use mechanical pencil 005 HB lead. It doesn't smear and erases easily. You can paint over it as well, and it disappears into your work. Glad you got the book!
ReplyDeleteNature is so beautiful. God is the creator of such wondrous perfection.
