Tape!
Living in Minnesota, the land of 3M (Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing), tape is sort of a natural resource. Whether it's the classic "painter's blue," or more unusual colors, pretty much 3M has it.

This Chinese Dragon was constructed with cardboard armatures, newspaper, 3M painter's tape, with additional decorations in yarn and gold spray paint.
I like using tape as a substitute for papier-mâché. It's serviceable, quick, and not too serious. |

Christmas Cards
As a writer, I remain addicted to letter-writing. I have always used the Christmas season as a time to catch up with friends (though in this internet age, year following year, this seems more of a quixotic mission).
It's hard to find--to make--the time to get hand-written letters, or a hand-drawn image out, out of the planning stages and into the mailbox. Looking back... I appreciate every year when I've managed to do it. |
