Advent 2015: Day One

Preface: Advent 2015 Starts Today!
I try to pick a theme that I stick to, or choose to derivate from and this year's theme is Birds, Bees and Big Green Trees. Some of them are Christmassy (sing the carols please) and others are just birds that I admire or think are funny. You can be the judge. Here we go!

Wall Street Journal Holiday Gift Guide Illustration

I had the honor and privilege to create a little piece of wrapping paper for the Wall Street Journal Europe's Holiday Gift Guide's back cover. It was a treat of a project, and I got a full page, no copy no nothing just to let my illo shine. Thanks to EL, the remarkable art director who had me in her clipping file for "the right job"--and for her marrying me up with such a fun project. Here is the PDF of the Gift Guide --back page, please.

You will see many of these elements popping up in my Advent Calendar as I am loving these pieces and want to make little pretties to make your holidays a bit sweeter. You too, can print this out and wrap a little something in it, a jewel, a shiny rock, a shell, or an exotic tidbit from nearby or far away.
