Countdown Idea #

Sculptures are made from recycled tissue paper collected from anywhere and everywhere. The tissue paper is brushed with a hardening agent and layered over a hand-sculpted frame made from a continuous strand of copper wire. The tissue paper dries stiff but the ornament still retains it's papery, transparent quality.

Countdown Idea #

No....really....do you display your Christmas Cards?

Do you hang them on a door?

Clip them to a tree holder?

Diplay them on a shelf?

Only put them 'out to see' when visitors arrive?

It's ok. You can tell me.
