My, my, Grapes! I haven't visited this thread for a while. You've got some real beauties on here. I really do like that last one. Beautiful!

The golden grapes look gorgeous. And, now that I see the bottle of Glög, I just remembered I had two to open during the Christmas celebrations and we haven't touched either yet!

If you do not mind me asking, how do you serve the glög? Do you just warm it or do you also have any "finishing touch" to tweak it? Only curious about (and after) the many local variants I've seen around.

Txomsy, thanks . I tend to drink it cold but occasionally I heat it. You can add vodka and in the student Christmas parties there was a lot of it . I added honey to warm glögi this Christmas (no vodka ) and also almonds & raisins is something you can find in this drink.
That's a lovely surprise to find bottles un-opened! Happy New Year!

Sno, thanks Glad you checked in to this thread.

PB, thank you!

There are all kind of daily painting challenges in January on internet and l might participate in one so that means I paint some more so it's possible I post some of them here belated as they go to the theme.

These are so good, Grapes! Terrific work with those complex star shapes! About how long do you work on something like this?
