I am not the best artist in the world, and I know that. But I am creative. Always have been, which is why I try out new things. Snow spray art is just ones of those ‘new’ things. Why new? Because I saw it done on the telly for the first time and I simply had to give it a go!

Was I going to give up? No. I did one more snow scene. This time a church. I used the same tools as before – my piece of cardboard and my art brush. It’s okay but practice will make it look better. But that evening I just thought, I can do this! For some reason I just cleaned off the snow spray art I had previously created and started again. With a bit of help from Tom Baker’s art work. I had to have something to go on, so I looked at a couple of his images. I knew if I tried to recreate them they’d look very different, but I needed something visual to guide me.

But when I saw a chap called Tom Baker–‘snow artist’ (not Dr Who!) on Kirstie’s show, I thought ‘Yeah, I can do that’.. It is as easy as it looks?? Printable sled – Believe it or not, sled stencils are rather hard to find online! I found a workaround, though; SheKnows offers a printable sled that I will totally use as a sled stencil.
