That’s such a lame joke. I can’t believe I’m posting it…
You see, my snake is a Cornsnake And there is actually a certain Cornsnake colour called Candy Corn (but they look more like this). And I got the candy colours wrong. Jeez and meh.

Anyway…

HAPPY HALLOWEEN/SAMHAIN!!
Have a great weekend everyone, with lots of candy and candles, ghosts and zombies
(I actually have a party to go to and an awesome outfit! I’m so excited!)

I’ve been MIA from the dolling community (i.e. the making of pixel dolls, read here if you need an explanation) for quite some time now. I tend to do that so it’s nothing unusual. It’s just a bit awkward coming back to the forums again and be all “Hi, remember me? No? Ok then.. *crawls into a dark corner to pout*” Ok, maybe not exactly like that *lol*

But anyway, now one of those absent periods seem to be over and I’m slowly wiggling my way back into dolling. Instead of working with other people’s bases I’ve been making some of my own – and actually managed to finish them! And now I feel all proud and happy!

Needed a new DeviantArt ID and decided to sprinkle some magic over myself and Zaphod That’s why the ground is that grey green colour, to go well with DA.

    
To the left is my new forum av for Glam! and Linriel, a rose witch with a cyan hat. Very suitable. To the right is just an experiment doll (omg, I made a blonde!) to try out my new base.

I haven’t released any of those bases to the public yet though. I’m still playing around with them, making poses, adjusting stuff and such. But as soon as I feel that they are ready I’ll upload them here for others to use

Yep, this Sunday the first snow fell here Most of it has melted again of course, it’s still another couple of weeks until it’s here for real. But it’s freezing here, and there’s already a thin layer of ice on the ponds in the valley, so it feels like winter already.

I’m not complaining – I love winter! Not as much as autumn, but it’s a close second
There’s something about the first snow, it’s almost magical… Even the most ordinary, boring objects suddenly become beautiful and mystical just by adding a thin layer of white powder.

Is anyone else looking forward to the winter? Or is it just me being weird again? *lol*

Thank you all for the encouraging words and good luck-wishes regarding the last post! I’m feeling much less insecure about the contest now. And voting starts tomorrow… *hint hint*

Right now it’s the most beautiful time of the year if you ask me. All the trees and bushes are dressed in the most intense flaming colours, from deep red to bright lemony yellow.
And the air is crisp and clear without being to cold, so it’s nothing but pure joy to get out and see all of it It’s freezing during the nights now, so the leaves and mild weather will be gone any day.
But today was lovely so I took a looong walk along the river with Zaphod, and I actually remembered to bring my camera!

(There are a few more photos on my flickr account.)

There are lots of old barns like this here, and I think they’re so pretty.

A waterfall under a bridge.

Another barn.

The path along the river. Zaphod’s camouflage colours work well this time of year.

I thought this was such a pretty little tree It looks like a rainbow.

The sign says “Welcome to Myckle”, isn’t it cute? I was kinda surprised to see it, Myckle is quite far away Turned out I had been out for 2 whole hours!

How cool is that bike!? I understand why its owner has put it by the road like this

Zaphod taking a sip.

Did you say “heel”?
