Hey, what did you do today?

I made a quick trip to Fashion Island for a return, and a small purchase. In and out in half an hour. A new record. Before leaving for home I took photos of their beautiful and very tall Christmas tree. 

A popular place for Christmas photos. When I got home I looked at my little tree.

 

I love their big tree, but this one is perfect for me. A study in contrasts. 

 

 

A re-post from 2010

As mentioned in yesterday's, Day #2695, here, each member was to bring a small, handmade gift for each member at our Eastside Christmas Potluck.

1. Short on time, I visited the local dollar store and bought plaid, 

cloth as a base.

2. Painted each ornament with 

white gesso for a future face.

3. I used a permanent marker to 

draw the face.

4. Each one a little different? I did 

all of the faces first.

 

5. Once the face was on, I started tissue collage, using gel medium.

 

 

 

I finished the backs with gesso and marker for the date.

Easy, fun but time-intensive.
