The Christmas Story: A nightmare, day 8 - Jule historien: Et mareridt, dag 8

Dansk, se længere nede.

When the little mouse fell asleep again her craving for red berries made her dream of all the red berries on the tablecloth and in the decorations. She saw a tiny bowl loaded with red berries of different kinds, and in her dream she ate and ate, and no matter how many she ate, the bowl filled it self – what a wonderful little bowl. Then she saw a pig piece of cheese and a delicious sausage, and she ate and ate and ate until she hardly could move. But then suddenly the owl was there, she screamed and ran for her life. But her tummy was SO full of food, and she could not get through the entrance to her mouse hole, and she knew the owl would eat her any minute now… She screamed so loud that she woke up, and her little heart pounded like crazy. Thank God, it was just a nightmare!

To be continued…
PS: I LOVE owls, they are amazing birds!

Da den lille mus faldt i søvn igen, fik hendes trang til røde bær frit løb, og hun at drømte om alle de røde bær på dugen og i dekorationerne. Hun så en lille bitte skål foran sig, den var overlæsset med forskellige slags røde bær. I drømmen begyndte hun at guffe i sig, og lige meget hvor meget hun spiste, så fyldte skålen sig igen; sikke da en dejlig lille skål. Nu så hun et stort stykke ost og en lækker pølse, og hun åd til hun var ved at revne. Men pludselig var uglen der, hun skreg højt og løb for sit liv. Men maven var SÅ fuld af mad, at hun ikke kunne komme ind i musehullet, og nu vidste hun at uglen ville æde hende lige om et øjeblik… Hun skreg så højt, at hun vågnede med vildt hamrende hjerte. Gud ske tak og lov, det var kun et mareridt!

Fortsættes…
PS: Jeg ELSKER ugler, de er nogle fantastiske fugle!

The base color is 1 coat of China Glaze Icicle and on the fingers “with food” I layered with Essie Luxeffects, As gold as it gets, not easy to see though. The motifs are painted freehand with acrylic paint and a tiny brush.

I’m not too happy about the berry bowl, but I had to make it like the little mouse dreamt it (at least that’s my excuse;). The little fat mouse-butt on my pinky isn’t very impressing either, I even tried to paint her pink paws pointing backwards. But the owl, I cannot even be modest about it, and it’s very unlike me to boast, but I’m SO proud of it.

Grundfarven er 1 lag China Glaze Icicle og på de to ”mad fingre” har jeg lagt et lag Essie Luxeffects, As gold as it gets, men det ses nu ikke rigtigt. Motiverne er malet med en lille pensel og akrylmaling.

Jeg er ikke så tilfreds med bærskålen, men jeg var jo nødt til at male den, som den lille mus drømte den (det er i hvert fald min undskyldning). Det er heller ikke specielt let at se, at det er en lille fed musenumse på lillefingeren, med lyserøde trædepuder der peger bagud. Men uglen, jeg kan ikke engang være beskeden omkring, og det er helt ulig mig at prale, men hvor er jeg tilfreds med den, grænsende til selvfed :)
