And I love her! So much!

Inspired by my love of winter (yes, I LOVE WINTER-someone has to), snowdrops and green eyes, I present to you the beautiful, Lumi. Meaning "snow" in Finnish, Lumi just seemed like a good name....I mean she kinda has a Scandanavian like vibe to her (well, to me anyway). Painted in a palette of soft sages and gorgeous grays, I wanted to give a wintry like feel to her without using baby blues and icy pastels. I must say, I throughly enjoyed this color palette I chose. 

Those big green eyes (I LOVE GREEN EYES-i digress), conveying a feeling of serenity surrounded by the delicate beauty of the snowdrop flower and kissed by butterflies wings. Lumi is indeed, "Serenity Amid the Solstice".

PRINTS AVAILABLE HERE and I'll be turning her into a pendant necklace in the next few weeks. Pendant necklaces available here.

I really hope you love her as much as I do. She sure does own a piece of my winter loving heart.
