3/365:2013 ATC little miss sunshine

3-365ATC2013 little miss sunshine

With yesterdays blue card, I got playing with the yellows. Out of that came little miss sunshine. Although we actually do not have any sun here this time of year. We have polar nights. Due to the twilight effect is is not dark 24 hours a day, in the same way as it will be light some time before sunrise.

Polar Nights is a phenomenon that occurs in the winter, just north of the Arctic Circle(and south of the Antarctic Circle). For a while the sun is below the horizon, even when it is at its highest. This period is at its shortest near the Arctic circle and increases in duration closer to the poles. We will have the sun back around the 10th of January. On the upside the areas that have polar winter nights, will have midnight sun in an equivalent period in the summer.

Medium used: acrylic, pen and promarkers. The card is sprayed with varnish.

Norwegian:
Med gårsdagens blå kort, fikk jeg i dag lekt med gule farger. Ut av dette kom lille frøken solstråle. Selv om vi faktisk ikke har noen solen her på denne tiden av året. Vi har mørketid. På grunn av skumrings effekten er det ikke mørk 24 timer i døgnet, på samme måte som det vil være lys litt før soloppgang.

Mørketiden er et fenomen som oppstår om vinteren, like nord for polarsirkelen (og sør for den sørlige polarsirkelen). For en stund solen er under horisonten, selv når den er på sitt høyeste. Denne perioden er på sitt korteste nær polarsirkelen og øker i varighet nærmere polene. Vi får sola tilbake rundt den 10. januar. På den posetive siden får de områdene som har polare vinternetter, midnattsol i et tilsvarende langt tidsrom om sommeren.

Felted wool scarf - flower petal

Felted a scarf, trying out the new wool. When the weather gets warmer, I'll make more of these for Christmas gifts. Felting is a wonderful outside activity. All the nap/shag fly with the wind and don't get in your house, dusting is not what I want to spend my time doing.


Colours used: dark magenta, white, standard yellow and ocher.
