Are our beautiful coffee filter snowflakes a forecast of things to come? That remains to be seen, but in the meantime, they sure look beautiful anytime of day! With the sun shining through them, and giving some color to a dark window at night. For a simpler, more graphic version using rubber stamped letters for a touch of color, see my previous post here.
Coffee filters are round, and the paper is perfect for absorbing delicate paint like water color. We (well, really mommy, as you can probably guess) cut ours first and then painted them, and after leaving them to dry I attached them to the window with just a dab of Elmers blue glue gel, which I'm sure will wash off easily.
It's a good thing I took this photo on Friday, because right now it looks nothing like this outside, thankfully. We are finally getting some serious rain, and the steps around our hillside home are like flowing rivers. May it just continue! The water level of the Kinneret (The Sea of the Galilee) is at a dangerously low level—very scary when this is Israel's main water supply source! And for those of you who never worry about drought or running the faucet too long, or not watering your plants in the summer, add this to your list of things for which to be grateful!
