Snowman Revisited


Decades ago, sometime around the Twelfth Century, I posted an image of a snowman. Today, decades – nay, centuries – later I revisit that image as part of my Christmas Card series.

In his element
The snowman stands
With a nose made of carrot
And brittle twigs for hands
As the cold winds blow
He stands there with glee
As just on the horizon
Is Christmas, you see!

Here’s the un-tweaked original version:

I’ve made it feel a tad more chilly. Well, it is Winter.

    God Bless!

    I’m for no snow myself so I guess I am not a snowman type person….Hey TL, what art program do you use to do all your stuff? Love it! VK 🙂

      I remember you telling me about the snow you had, VK, was it last year? You made it sound very pleasant. I love the snow when it’s freshly fallen… not when it’s been around for a while and it’s all grey and murky and slushy.
      I use a variety of programs, VK: Artrage Pro, Photoshop Elements, PowerPoint even at times… and there’s a nifty website called PicMonkey that I use at times for an extra boost in the juggery pokery department. That was how I changed the image above.

    I love these pictures (and the verse) – they go really well with your decoration and the the WordPress snow!

      Thanks, Elaine. I like the snow effect for the snowmen pictures as well!

    Very good. The next step from chilly is frozen. Then you make the mouth an O for a laff, and that gives you Frozen’s Olaf?

      I’ve never seen Frozen, Col, so didn’t even know there was an Olaf. I’ve just checked him out… and he has very similar arms to my snowman. Purely coincidence, I swear!!!

        You never know – maybe Disney plagiarised you!

          It seems unlikely, but anything is possible in this day and age!
