Christmas Tree

By 9:30 am Friday morning we had hung (with the help of les-thank you) our newest public art, a little Christmas tree art box outside In a Frame on Corry Street.
I made the box and the mini paper chains, nancy made the mini candles and glued on little ornaments.

I like the Christmas tree art box.
Check out what the Tate Modern is doing:

Tate Modern Christmas Tree

My favorite is the annual Victorian Christmas tree at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Jaf,
That framed Christmas tree is so cute and awesome. I looked at your participating businesses list. Wow! That seems to be a very supportive community. Oh and I looked at the Tate Christmas tree. You are right. It is UGLY. I like the peddle power idea though. LOL LOL

Stay WARM!!

Sheree, what can I saw Yellow Springs is AWESOME! Even the cops are good sports. You were not around when we olga the bra visited the knit knit tree and got a bit rambunctious. the police station stamped her passport and let me drape her over the squad car.

Have fun at the Kiss off. Oops! Didn't mean that like, "kiss off!" - meant it well.

Winter doesn't seem to slow the creativity down for you all.

Tell the governor I would've picked you for the award.

I agree - the Tate tree isn't the most... attractive. But if I could hook up our Christmas lights on the house to the elliptical... man, maybe I'd get rid of a few pounds (or at least make up for some of the holiday feasting!)

I hope someone filmed the kissing event. I also hope someone is following you around with a camera -- for the PBS documentary (or the reality show).

No community could possibly have such a creative, good time!

Your community sounds so wonderful. A dream community for any artist!
Such support can only bring more inspiration.
The tree is lovely. Can't wait to see what comes next. Hope the kissing both went well!
