Christmas in December!

This year's BTA/Puny Secret Santa event came with a twist -- each secret Santa had to make their gift from scratch. No more $5 Perkins gift cards -- our presents had to be dripping with thoughtfulness and completely devoid of any cash value. Well, mission accomplished!

Zander made a hand-sewn weighted companion cube for Corey (photo to come).

Thanks to Google Street View I was able to get a photo reference for Zander's house without having to creepily stand outside and take a photo myself. This is inked with a rapidograph #2 on smooth bristol, with watercolors added on top.





Finally, I was the lucky recipient of an original Tim Sievert stuffed animal. I can't imagine how long this took to sew by hand, but I sure do appreciate it. Old Crow here is on permanent display at BTA headquarters if you want to come up and take a gander.
