Day 7, and as it's Sunday we were going for a silent Sunday style photo, then the Friends decided they wanted festive headgear and it was silent no more.

#sillyscribblesAdvent #artAdventCalendar #mosstodon #sillyScribbles

A close up photo of some frosty moss on a grey day. Seven scribbled figures, each wearing a different festive hat, stand in two groups, holding hands. One holds a placard with the number 7 on it.

Day 8, and Myfanwy and Friend are in the sleigh ready to deliver presents, but the reindeer don't seem too keen.

#sillyScribblesAdvent #artAdventCalendar #MyfanwyAndFriend

A snowy scene. On the right is a red sleigh with a large knitted chicken (Myfanwy) in a Santa hat, and her Friend, a simple scribbled figure, wears an elf hat while carrying a placard reading 8. There a 7 other figures, each wearing some form of reindeer antler headpieces. One hangs off the back of the sleigh, the others are just standing around. On on the left in the foreground appears to be holding a Rudolph style nose in his hand, while shrugging to camera.

Day 9, and there is absolutely no way I'd forgotten about it until the last minute and then had to finish it during a power cut. That would be ridiculous.

A photo of the Nevis Range Mountain Gondola at Aonach Mòr, just north of Ben Nevis in the Scottish Highlands. There is snow on the mountainside and a blue sky above. The photo is taken from one gondola, to the one in front which was empty. Now it is full of 8 simple figures, all staring out and wearing festive hats. Another figure hangs off the outside (not recommended) holding a placard that reads 9.

Day 10, and they got up the mountain safe & sound, but seem to have misplaced their hats. These things happen. We will find them.

#sillyScribblesAdvent #artAdventCalendar #Scotland

A photo of a snowy Scottish mountain top with blue sky and some light white clouds. Centre stage is a large snow person made of three balls of snow. It wears a red scarf and Santa hat. Around it is a group of simple scribbled figures. On the right one holds a placard reading 10. Next to them are a couple considering what the carrot is for (my wee folk have eyes, but no visible nose or mouth); one is holding a carrot while the other shrugs in confusion. Two have climbed up behind the snowman, peering from behind, and another sits on the edge of the wide bottom section, drinking a hot chocolate from a red mug. Another stands looking on, also drinking chocolate. In the distance three figures are on sledges on the snowy slopes.

Day 11, and the Friends leave the mountains and travel to Edinburgh during the Scottish Enlightenment to do a bit of skating.

#sillyScribblesAdvent #artAdventCalendar

Eleven of my simple scribbled Friend figures set in the Duddingston Lake scenery of a famous painting; The Skating Minister by Henry Raeburn. One figure stands outside the image, on the frame, holding a placard reading 11 and wearing a knitted Christmas tree hat with a star on top. Another nine all skate from left to right, in the pose of the Minister from the painting. The one in the front is wearing the frock coat and skates of the Minister from the painting. They all wear Santa hats. The final figure is wearing a particularly tall white hat decorated with a bauble, rather than the Santa hat of the other skaters, and they skate from right to left. They've not fallen out with the others, just doing their own thing.

Day 12, and it's Friday (woohoo!) so time for another advent collaboration with the Friday Dancers.

As ever, I hope you all have a good weekend, if you possibly can :HumphStomp:

Today we're revisiting a particularly spectacular character from one of the Victorian Christmas cards discovered last year.

Welcome to Day 13 and the Sausage Sash Turkey Procession.

#sillyScribblesAdvent #artAdventCalendar #nonsense

A drawn image. The background is a simple snowy landscape. The main characters are the Friend Folk, simple black and white scribbled figures. One stands on the right in a tall Christmas tree hat with a glowing star on top, holding a placard with the number 13 on it. To their left is a Victorian illustration of a large plucked turkey with a sash made of sausages and a white scarf. It is running left. To its left are three more Friends, each wearing a Santa hat and doing a similar mid-run pose as the turkey. In the background there is another turkey being followed by another 9 Friends. The ones in the distance are blurred.

Day 4 and we visit a local loch on a particularly cold & icy day.

#sillyScribblesAdvent #artAdventCalendar #Scotland #sillyScribbles

A photo of a Scottish loch with mountain beyond, taken through a sheet of ice with holes through it lifted from the surface of the loch. The ice covers two thirds or so of the frame from the left. On the right a simple scribbled figure stands holding a placard with the number 4 on it. Behind the ice are three more figures, each wearing a Santa hat. They peer through the holes, while holding the ice in place for the photographer.

Day 3 and I'm sticking with the Scottish theme, with this EXCELLENT Highland Cow in Glen Nevis, in the process of being decorated for Christmas. It's hard to tell, but I assure you the coo is happy about it. Consent is important in the world of festive bling, as with all things.

A photo of a Highland Cow standing in front of an autumnal mountainside (Ben Nevis). It is a majestic beast, with long ginger locks and huge horns. It has been edited so it is also wearing a Santa hat, dangling down with a big bobble on the end. On its right horn sits a small scribbled figure, and a golden bauble hands off it as if it's a branch of a xmas tree. Another similar figure is hanging onto the dangling hat, legs wrapped around the bobble, holding a red bauble, one assumes for the other horn. On the left a third figure stands, holding a placard reading 3.

Winging it a bit (again) today, but can't miss the deadline on day 2 so have a slightly unorthodox ski jump from Friend at Creag Dubh, taking a leap towards the sprawling splendour of Rannoch Moor.

#sillyScribblesAdvent #artAdventCalendar #Scotland

A photo taken from up a snowy mountain, looking over a non-snowy moor below. The image is split diagonally with the bottom right triangle the snowy foreground, dropping off to the top left section of moor. The sun is shining and the snow is dappled with blue shadows. In the distance is another snowy peak, with the flat moor between dark and golden. There are two simple drawn figures. One is wearing a Santa hat and skis, and jumping in a star jump off the edge of the snowy mountainside. One stands on the right holding a placard with the number 2 on it. They have a hand raised to their face, covering either amusement or alarm. Probably a giggle.

It is time. Welcome to the Silly Scribbles Advent Thread. I have no overarching plan this year, other than I *might* try & add an additional Friend for each day, because I think that might be funny by Christmas Eve.

Anyhow, starting with one based on my Christmas Card design for this year (mainly because I am very behind with everything & it was the only festive image I have done).

I give you... FESTIVE BORB!

#sillyScribblesAdvent #artAdventCalendar #sillyScribbles

A photo of a round fluffed up Eurasian robin on a glistening snowy surface. It has a red face and breast, grey-white lower down, and brown on its head and back. The brown on its head is covered by a fluffy Santa hat, with a dangling fluffy bobble. The robin looks to camera, slightly unimpressed. On the right is Friend, a simple black and white drawn figure, holding a placard with the number one on it.
