I don't know why the orangutan had wrapping paper or why he was eating it, but for a brief moment he lifted the paper from his face to look at us, then pulled it back down and continued his midday snack.

Ooook!

One of the zaniest parts of Christmas round these parts is our stockings. Crammed full of candy and other odd and intriguing products we usually have a fair dose of stuff from the dollar store in ours. Wandering these places opens you to a plethora of badly translated products. The translation on this one is a blast!

no inspiration today... doing my Christmas wrapping.

The past 3 years I've taken to using art papers and found objects to wrap gifts and make cards. Purely a hobby. I have not had any classes so I have no idea what is "right." I do know they're not what you'd find in a usual store.

This basket has a nice feel, made of darker wicker, lush bows with little holly berries dripping from the baskets bow!

This is wrapping paper of my shop.

This is a shot that mainly contributes to the overall texture of the project. I would like to see it as part of a collage but it doesn't hold much photographic merit of its own. It just looks pretty.

"Christmas gonks — unique little figurines with long bushy beards and knitted hats — are often considered to be the Nordic version of Santa Claus. Inspired by gnomes and hobgoblins found in Scandinavian and Nordic mythology, their popularity has been continuing to surge over the years."

Presents under the tree on Christmas morning, 2008.

I paint a border on the tissue paper I use to wrap carved animals for shipping. The red plastic is the stencil I cut, with many animals. The silver object is the airbrush. And the rest are different colors of the finished product.

(didnt like the store's wrapping, so i did it myself, real nice!

too bad i wasnt quick enough to shoot the masterpiece...)

I started wrapping Christmas presents earlier today, but had to stop when my son came home. Later he went sledding with his daddy and I was able to continue.

Today is Mr Boxhead's birthday. Well, technically I suppose Mr Boxhead is only about 135-140 days old...but you know what I mean. I decided to forgo the "365 Days" tradition of taking your birthday photo in your birthday suit (my gift to you all...you can thank me later) and instead used an idea given to me by Babs. Thanks m'dear. You always inspire me.

This year's wrapping theme is trees and reindeer.
