First Snow Dude of 2016

Frosty is a little chubby. His body was meant to be his bottom, but I couldn't get 3 segments to work. The snow was not the right consistency. Too fluffy and wouldn't really hold together well. I had it in my head to make a snowman and didn't want to give up, but this is the best I was able to get, which is truthfully not so bad for this snowman novice.

I made him, used edible parts but for the stick arms and mouth and then ran an errand to the camera store. It was my first time there, I was thoroughly overwhelmed and left with nothing. What I had set out to get was more than I had on my Christmas gift card. Maybe I should get a job there...wonder what their discounts are? Imagine getting lenses for 50% off?:)

When I came home, poor Frosty couldn't see or smell. The critters must have gotten his almond eyes and carrot nose. Sadly, his smile was gone, too.

Hope you are wearing a big smile today. I am.
So very cute!

Kind of Olaf-looking. If you have fans of Frozen in your house :)

Now I've got the "Do you want to build a snowman" song stuck in my head. Of course, I've probably only heard it ten times so far this year. ;)

There is status in being first, even if the bottom is't quite right. Looks like fun.

I think he's perfect, and I love your story too!
January 14th, 2016  
Haha! Can't believe they made such quick work of him! What lens are you after?

I like his suit. Or is that a sweater?

I think he's been captured perfectly, Amanda. Though is it no longer PC to call him SnowMAN?

Very beautiful snowPERSON (although I think he's a boy).

Love his eyes! I like how he rises up from the snow.

You do put in a lot of effort for your photo set ups. I thought your kids had made this. Very cute and I like that the flakes are still falling.

@mrslaloggie The snow may have been added in for effect. I just needed the snow:). Thanks. Just a little snowman that looks like a child made it. I never made them until a few years ago:).

Frosty the Snow Dude. I'll probably be humming that next Christmas, thanks to you. LOL

I like how you framed the snowman with those strong lines, and that you shot it when it was still snowing, too. Did you now that Japanese snowmen do not have noses?
January 15th, 2016  
ha-ha,you know how to put a grin on his face :) And I got one on mine too!
January 16th, 2016
