advent calendar  
I made it!!! Today was spent creating an advent calendar for my team at my company. Because they've been real sweethearts of late and really deserve more than a thank you.



Since it was so much fun, I'm sharing the creation process with you. My idea before starting was rather scetchy. I wanted someting typographic, I had those little bags and I knew the color I wanted. My idea loosely was to color a large wood piece and then use nails to arrange the wire.





After I mixed the color and applied part of it to the wood I printed out the letter A so I'd could leave out part of the wood.


I always work in chaos doing several things at the same time.




My accidental Star Trek Bag :)

Yet more typographic work ;)




Applying nails and the wire!



The Result!



Now I just need to fill those bags. Suggestions are welcome. Chocolate is mandatory!

Bonus piggie!!

That's pretty - and pretty cool, too.
I hope your team will love it and appreciate that you've done that for them. :)

[It looks huge - I hope you won't have trouble getting it into the office, haha.]

Thank you :) I love Typo so much, it was kind of a no-brainer. And I'm sure they will love it.

And you're laughing but the thought has occured to me and I hope they will let me put it whee I plan on putting it.
