Yule burns in some forgotten corner

Yule for me alludes to ancient festival/folklore around the time of the winter solstice incorporating fire.

The holly and ivy touch multi-memories/traditions, be it the carol, the use of these two evergreens as decorations/symbols or the Ogram alphabet Sally introduced me to. Perhaps subconsciously the yellow background (sunshine?) reflects my long held feeling that the longest day is the turning of the year towards the brighter days of Spring which reaches the conscious towards the end of January.

One of the attraction of this project is the chance to try out ideas/techniques with total freedom, while finishing this piece I stumbled across a new (to me!) technique that I fully expect to be returning to. Extra reason to get involved... come on, take your shoes off and get your feet wet!
