The Third Advent - Saint Lucia's day

The third advent came with devouted feelings. Here in Finland 13th December (last Wednesday) is the day of Saint Lucia. Saint Lucia is a martyr who took care of the poor and was a saint of the blind people. Her story is actually quite dramatic, her being a young maid whose destiny was determined beforehand and her being killed after she refused to follow that destiny and stick to Christianity even if it was forbidden at her era.

Here in the north Lucia is allegory of eternal life and the bringer of light (and hope) in the middle of darkest months of the year. Every year Lucia maiden is chosen among young girls, and criterion for Lucia maiden is to be smiling, pure and light-hearted. Lucia is chosen from applicants by public voting.

So I took part in this pretty tradition - who wouldn't, when there's such a dramatic story behind, and an opportunity to dress all white and beautiful! My dress consists mainly of Taeyang Romantic Mad Hatter stock outfit. Boots are second hand, and my beautiful lace skirt is actually a lace bag folded in the shape x3 The garland is drawn by Paint Tool Sai.

That was all for today, I wish you wonderful Christmas week 💗

The Second Advent

Another week went by! This time I bless you with light 🌟 as we finally got Christmas lights to the house 💛 There was no time for green screen, so this time I'll just quickly show up in a cute gnome girl's outfit 😘 I have future plans for the outfit (at least to part of it), so I'll present it later in more detail...

💗 See you again next week! 💗

The First Advent

Long time no see, did you miss me? 😘💗 We decided to take part in advent calendar set up by local doll forum. So I'm going to submit a new pic every Sunday till Christmas!

This time we had a ginger bread theme, because of I happened to have a fitting outfit (outfit: taeyang Dollte-Porte Alfred). And because of you can make a pun of my name, Ginger Lady (haha). And also, because of what would Christmas be without ginger breads 😉 The one I'm holding is going to be shared with my darling Will <333 Hope you like!

I was quite excited to try green screen technique again, since the first try was kind of disaster 😬 The main program used at editing is Paint Tool SAI. Seems like my host have learnt a thing or two, since I don't seem so out of place with two-dimensional background this time. I would say it was a surprise how well the ginger bread and ginger house turned out, but those branches of spruce seem a little unnatural, at least. Anyhow, with this kind of first attempt, I'm eager to see how the three other pics will turn out.

Ps. My host wanted me to remind you, that all parts in this photo/pic are (c) by the writer of this blog. Please do not use without permission, thank you 💗
