Thank you so much for this beautiful hat my dear Jerzzie :) Absolutely love it! Muacksss 💞😘🌹
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" on the 9th of December is "Christmas decoration in black and white". What a perfect theme to have, because I had to look no further than my craft basket for inspiration.
This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year and give them as gifts. I take several photos of each one on my tree before I wrap them up, so that I have a visual record of what I have given to whom. This one has already winged its way half way across the world and arrived at its destination, where I hope it is now hanging with its counterparts on my friend’s Christmas tree.
I decided to use this shot for today's theme because without the distraction of colour, you will notice that my baubles feature different kinds of sequins: in this case, round one, stars and flowers. I know flowers are not necessarily something one associates with Christmas, however these are not ordinary Christmas baubles, even if I do say so myself. Each one takes between two and three hours to make, depending upon the complexity of the pattern. I do hope that you like my choice for the theme and that it makes you smile.
"""You probably won't know him, but in 'Origamiland" this Santa is a very famous celebrity.
In his younger years he climbed the "Steep Pencil", height 3850cm, in a record time of 3:13.26 hours!! A special achievement, especially since he reached the top all by himself without tools.
The top of this unusually shaped mountain had crumbled over time, allowing our hero to balance on it for a while to rest an to be fit again for the return journey.
Fortunately, just at that moment a drone passed by to capture this special moment for eternity.
And of course this result has made it into the Santa Book of Records!''' ;-))

"""We all know the need of a last minute delivery, including in the origami Santa world.
This well-known Santa Scientist therefor launched the Santa-Express, using time travel. How exactly it works is kept secret.
Only this photo has been released.
Here we see the inventor in his time travel suit with his specially trained reindeer. The exact location could not be verified, but presumably somewhere on a starry meadow.
This project has unprecedented possibilities, that's for sure!"""

Hawthorn berries - there are a few of such trees in town. Looking very festive, don't you think?!
Can you see the hidden message?
One of the Christmas trees on display, this one is from (Highland Gardens) at Hershey Gardens, with the theme of cardinals. 🐦🐦 Seasons Greetings! 🎄
Thank you very much for your kind comments and visit, much appreciated!
"""Good news!!! Santa is on his way!!!
It is a very long journey and although the reindeer have magical supersonic powers to fly in the air, it is still better from a welfare point of view to let the animals rest once in a while. Also for the Santa himself, he is not getting any younger either. So they all are enjoying now a little break on a cloud full with snow!
Please have a closer look at the sled too.
On the back you see a lantern, which works on solar energy and ensures visibility during night flights.
So if you see one or more blue moving dot(s) in the evening or at night next week,..... then you know what it is."""

""" Surely you've all heard the sensational news, that Santa Claus is on his way and here he is spotted once more.
This Santa prefers to travel over the water at night. His silver reindeer look small, but they can produce such a super speed,
that the human eye cannot perceive them, as they pass by. Fortunately, a collage of Santa Claus was able to take a photo."""

"""Here we see the candyman at work. He collects chocolate leaves. As soon as the berries are ripe and turn red , they can be harvested.
Then there is a special process that only this Santa masters: making everything super super small and also very lightweight, so that it all fits in the bag and easy to transport.
Once at the destination, he changes it back to its original state."""
Folded from one piece of kamiepaper 15x15cm.

'''It is indescribably hot in this room, but luckily this Santa Claus and the Sack are heat resistant.
We are here in the gold room for only a very short time (with special permission), long enough to get an impression of all the beautiful things that are made here.
Due to confidentiality, the process cannot be photographed. Also not the final gifts, because then it is no longer a surprise.
Santa Claus has almost finished wrapping the presents and then he will embark on the long journey to get to the human world in time."""
Wishing you all a very happy weekend ahead ;-))

Another shot that taken from the Adelaide Arcade~~ it was too dark inside the arcade so I had to used very high ISO therefore the photo is bit too noisy~ pardon me... :-P the result of lazy to bring a tripod~~~LOL!
""" YES!!! Finally Santa is here and immediately caught in the act by a famous Santa-spotter ;-)), but it's unclear if he's climbing out of a chimney, after leaving presents in that house or if he's been sleeping in a flowerpot.. ......
What do you think?"""

I hope that you all have a wonderful 2022. The last two years have have been a misery for many with just too few highlights. For myself, I hope to be as optimistic as this nuthatch believing I might present it with a peanut. It was right! Season's greetings ye all and have a great new year!...and thanks:-)
I wish to all of you the best for this new year! Be creative and keep you safe from that damn virus!
Je vous souhaite à tous le meilleur pour cette nouvelle année. Soyez créatifs et continuez de vous protéger de ce satané virus !

"""Reindeer-origami has undergone a "long fold evolution".
Extensive research has been done by an Italian folder for one specific Italian reindeer.
The end result was recently published in the form of a family tree, called "The Orig-in of Species", with detailed photos, so that the development line can be seen clearly.
There may be more studies for other reindeer-origami species in the future, but that is still very uncertain."""
When I first saw this reindeer-family-tree, it made me laugh, great ori-humour. Hope you enjoy it too ;-))
Happy Sunday!

I like origami-Santa's a lot and I collect diagrams since years and years. It started with very simple ones, only suitable for cards and many years ago I decide to make ATC-cards*** (Artist Trade Cards) to create my Santa collection, with i models i had at that time. I once uploaded them all (see the first comment box))
I promised then to also show them individually in due time, mentioning the designer and where the diagrams can be found. So here are two origami santa's from the same designer.
The ATC-card on the left:
Model: origami Santa Claus
Design: Katsushi Nosho

The ATC-card on the right:

***Artist trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern trading cards baseball cards, or 2,5 by 3,5inches (64 mm × 89 mm), small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.
The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland.
Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or fiber.
The cards are usually traded or exchanged. When sold, they are usually referred to as art card editions and originals (ACEOs)***
