Good Yule! Happy Solstice! This blog won’t be up again before Christmas, so this seems a good time to wish you all a happy mid-winter gathering and feast, call it what you will. As you can see, the Green Man has now made himself - or should that be Himself? - known. I wasn't going to give him eyes - I started off thinking that he should just be a mask - but then eyes seemed important. And then just one eye. Which makes it clear who He is - an appropriate visitor for this time of year, given all the drinking, and not just Mead of Poetry. There's much more I can do... I'm thinking of trying something like this,for his crown...
Salt would make good frost, maybe? For his photo-shoot, I stuck a black plastic tray to the door of a cupboard with blu-tak, and then stuck him to the tray. Oh the Holly and the Ivy, when they are both full-grown...
And not only is old One-Eye back - Blott is too!
