Creative Tuesdays - Mittens

Welcome to Creative Tuesdays' Mittens theme! This one is acrylic on cardstock (11" x 8.5"). If you look closely, you will see the mittens hanging off the tree, a seasonal contribution, if you will!  I actually took a photo of such a scene, except the tree was filled with birds that day.  I had the idea to replace them with warm mittens.

Please drop by the other participants to see their 'mittens' interpretations!

I like that. Changing the birds into Mittens, very creative Christine. Really like the size and it's proportion to the lime backing, came out really nice.

How lovely, a mitten tree.... I'll take that cute green pair on the third branch, please.

Mmm had a similar idea with one pair...both are just a great way to illustrate our theme.

OK, Christine--you've done a first--you actaulyl bought honest to goodness real life tears to my eyes with this one. The sense of design, spacing, the darlingness of the line work and actually theme itself is all so lovely. I am just blown away. This may in fact be your best piece yet. I TOTALLY love it. TY so much.

BTW, I am glad to hear the tree you took a photo of didn't have mittens in it. Hate to think of someone climbing that and falling. LOL. But that woudl be an swesome gift to the homeless shelter too, no?

I really love the color you chose for the sky. Non conventional but totally works for this piece. :)
