The advent calendar is completely empty, Santa’s been and gone, the gifts are all un-boxed, feasters are going for seconds and chillers are binging on Netflix with a cup of white hot chocolate.

feeling a little festive this season, I gave the silhouette mandala’s some sparkle, by turning them into baubles. Each bauble is filled with a joyous thought; kissing under the mistletoe, giving gifts and Santa and his reindeer’s flying in the sky.

Through the art I wanted to reflect on what I’ve learnt personally over the years; the quality time spent with loved ones, the gift of giving and the childhood movie memory of Santa and his reindeers. Reflecting on these thoughts I opted for night shades of blue; a calming colour that symbolizes loyalty and faith.
