2021 Christmas 'Card": the Bright Spot

 

Bright spot  -  noun

a good thing that occurs during a bad or difficult time.

This year my Christmas 'card' will not hang on the tree. I was concerned with how much real estate my cards took up for people I have known for a long time and who have a big collection by now. This one is a magnet. It can be placed wherever:

In this year of third and fourth waves of Covid-19, heat domes, and the over-use of the word unprecedented, this year I made bright spots. They are small to be sure, but signify hope in a time that has been wearing.

Advent Calendars

 This little project was inspired by finding a box of 250 little envelopes, left by the previous owners of our house in a nook in the furnace room. The idea is that each day the recipients will cut off the envelope corresponding to the day, open it and retrieve a very small prize. 

Let the fun begin. 

One Moose, Two Moose: In Which I Fold Cardboard

 A little card came with the newspaper the other day. 

"Hmmmm....." I thought, "I need to make a moose."

First came this guy. His body stands about 11cm high.

Then I thought he needed a friend.

I am waiting for them to tell me what kind of mischief they want to get into.

 A bathroom renovation shaped life in my son's house for some months, hence the theme. 

Art From the Unknown

 

I am a bit ambivalent about winning entry into a show - virtual as it is - that proclaims that at this stage in my life, I have not really arrived anywhere. 

Be that as it may, this is the whole site: https://www.albertandpcaucus.ca/art-from-the-unknown
