Yes, the holiday season has arrived and I am in action - ideas percolating, hauling Christmas boxes down from the attic, cutting and pasting kirigami (real cut and paste not that electric computer stuff), and artfully displaying the percolated results. Putter, arrange, rearrange, take down and put back up. I love it! The living room could now be considered The Red Room as a grid of red/green/white kirigami squares adorn the west wall. The grid has alternating diagonals of green, white and red backgrounds. Dennis bailed me out of that when I messed up the order and the grid had a green where a white background should have been. Horrors! Red bulb ornaments, red poinsettias, red wreath, red and white table runner on the entertainment center and a live green Charlie Brown tree with red (and a few green, blue and yellow) bulbs. Kirigami cutouts with red, green or white in them cover the woodwork arch and hang from the window curtain rods. You get the idea. That's it for holiday preparation. I am working Christmas Eve day and on call Christmas Day. It's my turn and that's okay. Twelve days til Christmas and hopefully, no 'partridge in a pear tree' when we get there. Happy Holidays, dw.
I haven't been nearly so active, Christmas-wise, although I am considering writing my X-mas cards. Otherwise I'm still working on the metal sculpture, occasionally exercising and generally messing about. Yesterday I made a device to hang another bird feeder. After I install it, we'll have east (old one) and west (new one) feeders. When we get really bored we can count bird-visits and compare and contrast, to find which feeder has the most curb appeal -- bird wise. DA
