I used DS3, Photoshop CS5, & Filter Forge. It took roughly a week to finish. This piece was inspired by my favorite Christmas song that really isn't a Christmas song at all ... My Favorite Things, sung best by Barbara Streisand ~ Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things Girls in white dresses, with blue satin sashes Snow flakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things When the dog bites, when the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things Like silver white winters that melt into springs And then I don't feel so bad ~ I hope you all have a magical holiday :D
