Saltaire Living Advent Calender

My lovely manager Elizabeth Chambers at Shared Earth Leeds (check us out on facebook:  http://www.facebook.com/pages/Leeds-United-Kingdom/Shared-Earth/8981692642 ) lives in the beautiful little creative hub that is Saltaire near Bradford. This arty lot have a 'living advent calender' in the lead up to Christmas, and Liz got picked to create the window for the 4th December! Always my partner in creative crime, I was excited to see what she would come up with, and the girl did good! Her window showcased a fabulous lion, painted in acrylic on a black blind, highlighted with fairy lights on a wire frame. I asked Liz for a few words about her work: "I chose the lion because the sculptures are intrinsic to Saltaire, I wanted to create something quirky and humorous, so I invite the lion statue to stay! He is also a lot warmer than on the plinth" 

You can check out the other lovely windows at http://www.saltaireinspired.org.uk/livingadventcalendar/ , I love the idea of the community all pulling together to create something wonderful at this festive time of year, and if anybody would like to buy me a house in Saltaire, I would be more than happy to accept!
