Best wishes to all for the season!



Calligraphed wrapping, originally uploaded by Unhindered by Talent.

In warming up, designing, and practicing the calligraphy on our new cabinetry (one example here), I went through embarrasingly huge piles of practice paper. We saved it all, as WeatherGirl has plans to make art with some of it. I beat her to the punch, though, and snagged some of it for gift wrapping, as seen here.

Doing this has got me thinking that it might be fun to design wrapping paper like this to be printed and sold at the local art gallery. I have no idea where one could get something like that printed at a reasonable rate, though. Anyone out there have any thoughts?

Evil marketing ray guns are eating my brain!

Not my shot, but a wonderful (in the deeply scary sort of way) shot by the talented ahyc at a Harrods window display.

Luckily we avoid a lot of this sort of thing out here in the hinterland. We have our little Parade of Lights when they turn on the Xmas lights on main street, and the shop windows have their cardboard santas taped in the window, but it’s all pretty easy to ignore. I may rupture something, though, if I see another TV advert telling me that I will have no love (or love life) if I don’t buy WeatherGirl some diamonds!

Personally, I recommend foil hats to keep the evil marketing ray guns from eating your brains. Below we have Sub-Evil Boy demonstrating their proper use while surfing the web in these difficult times.

You must protect yourself from those evil marketing rays
