Hope all had a Happy Thanksgiving

Rick and I went to my brother’s house for Thanksgiving with family.  My siter in law, Peggi, is very talented from her great food to crafts.  She had butter in the shape of a turkey and made me a terrific ceramic Christmas tree.  My fun brother Paul has a 3D printer and made us all ornaments.

A Sight Only A few Can See

Going passed the Manchester Historical Society, if you are very lucky, you can see the Nutcrackers standing guard… They appear only to those who can see beyond the streets and houses…

Origami from Friday night, on the tree

On Friday night I taught these four holiday decorations at The Hive. From top to bottom: a relatively simple Santa, a star-like ornament, a menorah, and a modular cube (made from six modules, each folded from a square of paper, and joined together without glue).

The origami class time for Tuesday at Art Haven is going to have to change from the 6:30 time slot I mentioned before, but I don’t have the details worked out yet. I will put up the info as soon as I have it.

More origami ornaments

Origami ornamentsI will teach one or two of these at during my class tonight at The Hive tonight. (Apparently the class fee is $10, not $15 as I previously mentioned – and folding will start at 6PM. Fish first, then other ornaments).

Silver Lobster Ornaments At Pisces

I’m not sure why but the lady behind the counter looked very disturbed by my taking pictures of these beautiful silver lobster ornaments.

In any case they are pretty damn cool!
