I made Toucan Santa Cards, And Only Cut Myself Once.

First, I took a class at a local art house, and I chose to make a traditional Costa Rican wheel: Then, I had the brilliant idea to carve some of my grandma’s chickens: I was planning on using acrylic paint, but honestly, ink was working for me. So I decided to carve a local toucan…and with the holiday season, decided to give him a hat: I actually know this toucan personally; he lives nearby. After visiting a ton of print shops and getting samples, I decided a square card would look best.

You have an idea, but he says it’s no good. You help him build a business, and then he decides he can run it without you. You choreograph a dance, but he says it’s too silly to record. He rolls his eyes at your creations, then you win an award. …

the way christmas smells in New York City

I remember your first date. You bought a Christmas tree on the street. He was tall and you were a wild woman. He wore shorts in winter and you were stylish. Those stylish trends are things of the past; they’re old now, and maybe in another ten years they’ll be…
