Then it rained and they melted and became dirty too.

And then they were gone.

This is what it looks like as a whole; I love the little paw prints.

Then there was a black armchair which looks like it’s wearing a floral under skirt.

And last but not least a red armchair pushed up against a wall.

I decided to do a google search for ‘Sofa in the snow’ and this time lapse video of someone building a snow sofa came up. How ace!

I was aware after creating the initial splatter paintings that I didn’t want to stain the concrete below, so decided the only option was to make a huge colourful snowball. It was labour intensive and I soon warmed up. I enjoyed my only tools being a black glove (couldn’t find the other one) and a shovel. I used the shovel to cut it in half at the end to reveal the rainbow.

I think the final sculpture has turned out a treat! I had no idea what it would look like, but the mottled colour reminds me of rainbow sponge cake. It was great fun too, especially as a fun activity before having to go to work for a few hours through the slush filled streets.

Yesterday I decided to go on my own frost finding adventure. I saw a sofa covered in frost which was glistening.

Today I got up early, threw on clothes and Al and I wandered to the Pirate park in search of more frosty sights. It wasn’t as cold but there were still some signs that Frost had visited. I love a frosty morning!

I might well have ended up on the amazing swing…

The image I would like to start the year sharing is George Shaw’s ‘while no-one was looking -2010′. I saw this a couple of days ago at The Herbert gallery and was so pleased to see it!

Happy New Year!!!

We met a lovely woman who feeds the geese everyday. She called one of them lefty, one righty and one blindy; she says that they are regularly attacked by dogs.
