Handmade Cards

Paisley Crafts is welcoming winter and its blessings.
This poem by Walter de la Mare is a warm reminder of the feel of winter and all the wonders that it brings with it.


Winter 
Clouded with snow 
The cold winds blow, 
And shrill on leafless bough 
The robin with its burning breast 
Alone sings now. 

The rayless sun,
Day's journey done, 
Sheds its last ebbing light 
On fields in leagues of beauty spread 
Unearthly white. 

Thick draws the dark, 
And spark by spark, 
The frost-fires kindle, and soon 
Over that sea of frozen foam 
Floats the white moon. 

I try to get inspiration from all that is around me, I currently live in Malaysia where it never snows or even gets cold, but for most of my life I have lived in places where I experiences harsh winters and snow fall up to my knees. I try to put all my experiences together to get the best inspirations, these are a few of the cards I have made recently that have sense of winter and at times a tropical winter.
