#adventcalendar

I first watched A Muppet Christmas Carol two years ago, but it's now a holiday favorite. So I had to make an Advent calendar based on it, because that's what I do

Kermit is blanket stitched wool felt; the words were machine embroidered. The design is based on a performance poster from London Music Works and the lamppost is solar (plan to use it as a nightlight)

Still need to make the numbers, but there's time 🤞🏻

A Victorian looking lamppost with a cross bar that holds a long felt Advent calendar shaped like Kermit in a top hat from A Muppet Christmas Carol. His top hat is exaggeratedly tall and has been machine embroidered in white with the phrase "there's only ... more sleeps 'til Christmas" with space for a felt number to be attached between two blanket stitched holly leaves

Coming in July, Advent Calendars. Each calendar will contain 24 random stock elongated coins. Would be a fun way to start collecting coins #smashingpennies #elongatedcoins #elongatedcoin #adventcalendar

Our 2024 #emdiplomacy #AdventCalendar offered some glimpses into different #emdiplomats careers by introducing different diplomatic actors.
The #handbook takes a different approach by offering some generalizations. Our authors Sven Externbrink and Magnus Ferber take a closer look on the career paths of #emdiplomats as well as their social, national and educational backgrounds which suggest that the group of offical diplomatic actors in this age appears to be quite homogeneous.

@penfount Here’s one of my favorites from the 2024 Inkvent calendar. This one definitely a candidate for a full bottle.

Day 8 is Marley, a purple gray with some amazing chromatography with a rose hue and a vivid teal making an appearance.

Swatches are made on Canson, cold press 140lb watercolor paper with a brass Kakimori nib. I’m using a self-inking stamp from Midori that has an oil based ink. My wife spotted this stamp at a Kinokuniya Portland visit.

A narrow strip of watercolor paper with an ink swatch is on a small easel that is sitting atop a red book with an advent calendar filled with ink made by Diamine is in the background. The calendar is black with gold and silver trees and numbers with fancy lettering in white.

A close up of a section where the ink was drawn out with a lot of water to reveal pink and teal chromatography. There’s also lines drawn with different thickness and splashes of ink.

The top of the swatch has a stamped pattern for recording the name of the ink and other details. There’s a small ink bottle shape with the label section colored in with the ink. There are also 4 types of nibs to indicate the best nib to use. The options shown are felt tip, brush tip, dip pen (a glass style one is illustrated), and a fountain pen nib.

I have written the following details:
Marley
Inkvent 2024 - Day 8
Diamine
Standard (ink type)
Any pen/nib

The bottom of the swatch has a square patch of ink. Water has been added and you can see vivid teal and rose tones in the purple gray ink. The very bottom of the square is distressed a little.

A quote is written in above the square. It reads:

“Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail.”, Dickens

Come find and rescue Santa with Petrella before it's too late!

December 1st to 23rd: Open the doors to watch George Smiley Reluctantly uncover a conspiracy as he wanders around the damp, dilapidated London of the seventies.
December 24th: having solved the mystery and written his resignation letter, Smiley eats Christmas dinner alone. (Available in all good bookshops!)

Today, I have three posts for you. Sorry to bother. 😅
It piled up a little bit...
So, the first one (1/3):
Around Christmas, I finished Barroom Brawl and almost finished Deep Space, the mantic Advent calendars. 😀

I had a #Lego #StarWars #AdventCalendar this season and there were a lot of spaceships in there, that I did not recognize. To be fair, I'k not following the newest Star Wars shows too closely, so that's not surprising...

Can you guys tell me, what those ships in the front of the photo are and which show or movie they are from?

The contents of a Lego Star Wars advent calendar. All doors are opened and the models built. There are figures like Luke Skywalker and ships like the X-Wing fighter, but also models from newer shows and movies.
