PURPLE
CRUMPET FAIRY CHALLENGE – The 31 Days of Christmas
Day 15 – Snooooooowmen!
Hi
Goddesses
Well guess
who got shat on again by the great Nail Art God in the sky!
I was
sooooo looking forward to today’s challenge.
Ever since I was little, snowmen was one of the few things I could be
reliably asked to draw successfully, and my snow globe Snowman was a definite
success – remember ?
And then
what happens when I do a whole hand of them ?
Wonkyrama!!! It’s not that this is
AWFUL, it’s that I know it could and should have been soooo much better, and
for this I blame the middle finger!
So, to
trawl through the artistry with bitter eyes:
all the nails are on a base of OPI Ogre The Top Blue, fast becoming a
favourite, and again take different perspectives on the same scene.
Thumb –
full snowman, relative success, quite happy, wish the nose was better
Index finger
– not happy. The eyes are wrong, too
big. I didn’t stress about it when I was
doing it and actually deliberately picked up my large dotting tool because
children pick up big pieces of coal for eyes but …. Well, it just doesn’t look
right, does it ?
Middle finger,
really disappointed, and it’s all because of the hat. The brim of the hat is wrong. Oh yes, and I seem to have made the head as
wide as the body …. Ho hum.
Ring finger
– like, and everybody else picked this as their favourite. I wanted to do a zoom out and show the
snowman in a snowstorm.
Little finger
– super zoom on the next and top chest of the snowman – hhhhm, not sure it
really works.
Oh well –
there’s always next year!!
Enjoy xx J

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
