Waiting for Christmas

LOVELY BAUBLE! And with all that beautiful snow swirling around her! You managed that brilliantly, that the wolf is no longer under Moony, but behind her to fit in the baublehead. The wolf drawing even follows a bit of the spherical shape. Does it just seem like that to me, or does the picture look like a scene from a little Elfquest comic? That must be the strong reduction in size, a trick that is used in comics. And you put some kind of filter over it, right?
Moony is happy! Unfortunately she came back from school very late and was only able to find this treasure this evening. So it took some time for me to answer , sorry!
And I love it, I want so much to hang this baublehead on my x-mas tree.

"*wonders whether you two lurk for the calendar windows opening daily*
Yes of course we do, every morning while shooing Moonlight to go to school. Unfortunately, I'm a bit lazy concerning commenting on the forum and drawing at the moment, I'm very busy with other stuff, but today I finally managed an X-mas project.

"The "Let it Snow" magic worked - kinda. ^^ We had lots of pretty white stuff at December 1st santa all that's needed is 1. redirect in cour yourner and. 2. make it stay! ^^"
Yes, please! We only had fluff of snow today, but at least it is now cold enough for snow.

Although I'm not a wolf fan, I think the bauble with the wolf pack and the snow-covered fir trees is very beautiful. I love snow-covered fir trees. Here you can see again the round shape of the baublehead on the fir trees.
well done, Embala, all of those lovely pictures!

Young Dewshine and Scouter!! I like the way you made them look at each other. It's a sad moment.
I love the little light effects in their baubles.

I love Ahdri's bauble. Such an beautiful golden bauble with a very nice gold background! You used the perfect image for her with the palace!


Beautiful brown bauble for Moonlight! Almost looks like it's from elfquest itself!

[/quote] - this one belongs to Evil Evie ... not new but maybe lost in time.

I cannot find another bauble that matches your current avatar better, Evie! Point me to a variant character, scene or picture you love and you'll get a new one.[/quote]


Thank you Em! I honestly had no idea what I had done with my baubles. Probably saved them on some flash drive somewhere. This one was always lovely and I think its perfect for this year!


Love the let it snow pictures and all the other pretties! Lots to catch up on since I took an electronic break over thanksgiving.

Charming Suntop will lead you directly to the Advent calendars -  click the pic!

Lovemates & Magic of ElfQuest ... The child is the link!
Don't miss to take a look at Kat's Pixel Advent - more goodies!


I appriciate your contribution, Kat! The tiny little treasures add to the festive mood like real dolls under a Christmas tree. *hugs and kisses* Let the goodies come for your own fun, Kat - for pleasure not pressure! I see your Holiday Barbie, Retro Barbie (her very first appearance if I know anything about this topic ^^) and the one in yellow rings a bell from my youth.
Looking forward to see Rainthorwen's gifts - even more as I've "got to know her" now.

This scene was so special for Scouter's and Dewshine's relationship ... a sad but sweet moment, Wolfie. And I've found the perfect baubles in no time. Thanks for the Ahdri praise!
But ... but this is an EQ scene, isn't it? ^^ Just kidding *chuckles* though I can easily see Moonlight running with the pack! It was fun to play with Yeee's art to please a cubling.

Welcome back, Evie! I'm glad you are still very happy with your baublehead.
Taking quality time for family, friends and real life is most important! And this was a Thankgiving and birthday break ... busy busy days. Enjoy what we offer to your own measure, Evie, it will not run away.

In case you go for a real Christmas gnome ... be on guard what you buy!


... pygmy owl's snowflake design is a bonus. ^^


Thank you for the great praise and technical appreciation, Yeee! At second sight it was clear that the wolf must stay with Moonlight - best friends will not part. And with wolf it looks truely elfquesty ... I can so see them running with the pack. Took a bit to arrange Moony and Wolfy and the bauble in a harmonic way. The "snow effect" (actually light effects) was a welcome touch.
What you call a filter is my working method. The miniatures are build in 3 levels: the bauble - the motive - and the bauble again in shine through qualitiy (ca. 30 % Deckfähigkeit). This way the motive looks like an integrated part of the bauble instead of a simple "transfer picture".
Moony found a treasue after a long day at school ... the best part of it!
What a charming idea to put the bauble with Moony's "Thank you" in your sig. This way she can be visibly with us during Advent time and maybe a bit longer.

I was just curious and wanted to be sure that you know where to find the daily Advent fun. I'm glad for each feedback but commenting should not become a duty. Not at all! Good luck for your Christmas project *daumendrück*

The fir tree ornament was a hand painted sphere (not by me fortunately XD). I was very pleased when I discovered how well it goes with the wolves motive. ^^

Brownberry and Longbranch! Howling!

Is that longfin? Very nice bauble! I really love what you did in the background, with the hand and fish statue!

those owl's snowflake design are so cute!!

Brownberry and Longbranch. Pike and Vaya. Then Krill and Mender. Nice bunch over the last 2 days.

I think it's Longfin, not Krill. The theme is Magic of Elfquest, and Krill is not a magic-user.

(Yes, I'm still here, just lurking.)

Old lovers this time ... and deceased ones. The howling felt appropriate for them. The lady in blue is indeed Longfin, Wolfie. It's her own hand creating a rock fish for little Puffer.
Thanks for the your cheerful contributions, Wolfie. Want more owls?

Right, G0lden ... almost. The rockshaper masked in blue is Longfin, an elder of the Wavedancers - and has actually bluegreen hair. Now that you've mentioned Krill I can see the ressemblance. Maybe these two are close related ... *would be an interesting question for Christina Raibert*

*waves at lurking Redhead in Moonshade mode*   Nice to know you are around, Redhead - I'd miss you if you'd completely disapear!

*oogles friendly snow people bringing festive lights* Your visit brings joy, PC.

Now nothing drawn, but sewn: My latest project, Lilypads Xmas apron dress is ready. My kitling is now decorated for Christmas.

Pike and Vaya I love that they face the other way. Beautifull baubles!

Nice green bauble of Mender! The image makes him seem older.. I like the background with it.

Clearbrook and One-Eye!
Beautifull silver/star shaped bauble! I love this one.

Oh my goodness!!! That apron dress is so cute!! I remember making those when the monsters were smaller. 

LOVE all the new baubles, they're gorgeous! Stealing that female door one

Still caught up with the sprites  Added one of my moms favorite ones. Found the outfit once at a doll show.

I think I'm getting the Advent Theme now; (Recognized) couples, and their child. Or - as with Strongbow and Moonshade - one of their children.

Another Christmas gnome in snowflakes design ...




Adorable little brat! ^^ ... Malou looks so cute with her festive apron, Yeee. Ready to help with Christmas bakery. Malou is Lilypad, right?

Your happy comments keep me baubling, Wolfie! Pike and Vaya ... a love that should not thrive. The separate scenes appeared much more meaningful for me than the love scene itself. The elder couple in the snow was too perfect for this season - and I love them!

I see a tiny Ken ... must be an old one. I vaguly remember this red and white beach outfit. Festive red and white for Barbie again - so charming! As Innekah shared her bauble with Kaitek I can share it easily with you, Kat!

You are right about the Advent theme, Redhead, I've kept it easy this year. Made my day that you've remembered there is a holidaya theme - and cared to find out!

Dart and his first loves. Lifemates Cutter and Leetah. Ekuar looks toasty warm despite the cold. Looks like a very upset Strongbow.


Love the One-eyed and Clearbrook ornament. you should do one of Clearbrook and Treestump as well.

Figuring out the special Advent theme-within-the-theme is one of my favourite parts of this.

Dart and his first loves.

I suppose everyone has their parents as their first loves.

Rocky Rockefeller! Cute Owl!!

Strongbow, Moonshade and their son, Dart!
Beautifull small pruple baubles! I love that moment when they met Dart again.

Cutter and Leetah!
Beautifull images you used for this. Love the gold and silver colors of the bauble with the snow in the background.

I love what you did with Ekuar's bauble! Looks like he's rockshaping!

Hmmm...I can't remeber if this is young Strongbow or young two-spear?

Awww, Rocky is so cute, I want to cuddle him for hours.
A beautiful starbauble with the old lifemates Clearbrook and Oneeye. i would have liked it if the couple would have been showed more of and less Cutter and Leetah.

Yes you are right, this is originally Malou, who got the character Lilypad from me. Sorry i should explain more instead of simply producing human- elf-mash -ups .

Life Bearers par extraordinaire!

Hoping to get your card out this weekend, Em, or Monday at the latest! I hope you like it! I've just been crazy busy lately.

I'd have guessed that the Advent trio would be a case of "too small, too dark" again, G0lden. Dart indeed - but with Strongbow and Moonshade. The moment when the parents are reunited with their adolescent son. I'm so happy you always try you best even if you must guess. *hugs*
Ekuar looks toasty warm for you? This must be his character beaming! Upset Strongbow indeed - angry and desperate and hurting after being captured and tortured in Blue Mountain.

You'd like a Clearbrook-Treestump pairing? Your wish is my pleasure, G0lden. I'll make room for them!

I'll make sure to have the "Advent theme" going on as long as the calendars go. I've realized that even the very first calendar had an Advent theme - before I've even thought about making one!
You have sharp young eyes, Redhead - no problem to recognize almost everyone. (No, not THIS way ^^) Please be kind with G0lden ... small obscured motives are challenging for her. I so wish her to stay a happy camper.
The "life bearers extraordinaire" - I love your thinking, Red!

Rocky is a cutie for sure, Wolfie - and a true Christmas ornament! ^^ Have you clicked the link and read his story? (blue print is clickable - click the name for Rocky's story)
I'm glad that this moment between Dart and his parents was recognizable. No way for a Lovemates calendar without Cutter, the silver moon and Leetah, the golden sun ... and in the snow to match the extras' theme.  
Ekuar, banned in a snowflake star, showing off his rockshaping skills - I still love this idea.

More love for Rocky ... have YOU clicked the story link, Yeee?
I was almost shocked when One-Eye died so early in the story ... I've liked him despite he was hardly more than an extra (ein Statist). I love the elder elves and he and Clearbrook were a great match.      They deserved another prominent entry!
The angry one is Strongbow in Blue Mountain - and he had reason to be furious!

No need to be sorry, Yeee, simply producing human-elf-mash-ups is refreshing and fine for me. I had to be sure about Lilypad ...

... because Malou showed up in the Advent thread - kinda ^^

I thought a playful maritime bauble would fit the pip.

I'll keep watch for it, Koji!

AAAAYIIIIEEEEH! (scream) Is that baublehead cute! Thank you so much for it, Em! Again, I would so much like to hang it up on my XMas tree. But at last i can hang it on my signature.

No, I haven't seen the Rocky story but now I read it. A lovely little X-Mas story and just what we need in this weird corona year.

Cute Go-Back kid bauble with fitting icicle design.

Just read the story of Rocky!

Rainsong and Woodlock!    I reallly love what you did with Rainsong's head!

Nonna and Adar! I like the small baubles.

This are some nice shaped baubles, but I really don't know who they are. I think I know them, but I don't know their names.

I love this bauble of Aroree! I love that image of her in the background with that blond hair. It's kinda like two versions of her.

Young Yun and young Jirda!! Those images always makes me smile. I love the details and what you did in this bauble!  

Very beautifull bauble of Malou! I love the seashells on top!

Rainsong and Woodlock, then Adar and Nona. I can Aroree, but they others, no clue.
