Live artist, or folklore?


(borrowed clip from the internet)


Jack Frost
by Micha F. Lindemans ********************
Jack Frost is a figure from folklore, an elfish creature who personifies crisp, cold weather. He is said to leave those beautiful patterns on autumn leaves and windows on frosty mornings. It is thought that he originated in Norse folklore as Jokul ("icicle") or Frosti ("frost"). In Russia, frost is represented as Father Frost, a smith who binds water and earth together with heavy chains. In Germany however, it is an old women who causes it to snow by shaking out her bed of white feathers.
>>>Evidence: frost artistry on our pick-up as well as other cars close by. >>>Clues: just the artwork. No foot or finger prints. No other evidence or clues found. So, is he real? Could it be an alias? Could the artist be female instead? For many generations our parents have been telling us of this mysterious artist. How do they know? What is the real history behind it? Does anyone really know? Perhaps it's just a way for Jack Frost to leave a gift of love for his favorite woman......... his secret love,........Mother Nature. I don't know if anyone other than a scientist can truely explain the beautiful art work, and I really don't care. But I would like to say to the artist if they are listening...

Keep up the good work, and can you put this on canvas too? Just thought I would ask. :)

I love these pictures! It almost looks like paisley or a window from a gothic cathedral. Hope all is well back yonder with you and yours. Not any news out this way. Brian's been applying for 3 to 6 jobs every day but we still haven't heard anything back. My hands are magenta from dyeing some yarn. That's about the extent of our excitement. Hee. Talk w/you later.
