Winter Polar Bear Pond with Aurora Kaffeetasse

Sometimes you just need a cool wintry scene with your favorite piping hot caffeinated beverage of choice to remind you how good it is that you are inside with your lovely hot drink and not out at the North Pole with the picturesque polar bears, frozen ponds, and aurora borealis overhead. Nope, it's much better to have a picture than it is to see it in person. I've been practicing adding layers and depth to more abstract junk journal-style pieces, but I needed a polar bear today, so I applied my new skills to a more realistic scene.
