A few days ago the holiday season hit me, and yes, that is how it felt!

So  I made myself a very personal holiday season “tree”, after realizing that my resin casts of a piece of coral would be great hanging ornaments!   Yes, it looks a bit more like a menorah than a tree, but that is coincidence:  the brass candlestick is just heavy enough to balance my chosen curly branch, and the design went from there based on just the right things coming to hand in my studio.  Well I did spend an hour searching for the dried poppy heads after realizing the one at hand was so perfect!

I had already started on “Three Ships Come Sailing In” but only have two ships so far…
