For the past few days Jeannette has been slowly ramping up for the holiday season. One of primary ways that this ramp up has manifested itself is through gingerbread person themed ornament versions of people (fictional and real).
At first Jeannette started with pretty run-of-the-mill gingerbread men.
Then the neckwear started to change.
First there was a scarf.
Then a standard issue necktie...
...and a bow tie.
I am proud to say that a few of my suggestions were even accepted and gingerbreadized.
One of my earliest suggestions was 'construction worker.'
I then moved on to eighties classics when I suggested Richard Simmons.
Jeannette then decided to run with the popular persona theme and chose to do an Einstein, ...
...MJ (from the Beat It music video),...
...Freddie Mercury, ...
...Luke Skywalker,...
...and Han Solo and Princess Leia.
Oh, and because it was Jeannette making these there were also a few zombies.
And just to demonstrate that Jeannette's skills aren't anything special I decided to make one of my own, a school crossing guard.
Not to brag too much, but I totally nailed it. It's pretty clear that I have captured the essence of crossing guardness more than any other artist before me.
Then, to try to top my crossing guard, Jeannette moved to the 3D realm with this third rate wintery scene.
I mean really, can you get more hotel room art than this? Where's the passion and feeling that you see in my crossing guard? Where's the humanity?
Anyway, we're definitely in the ramp up phase. If we aren't careful we will soon be overrun with homemade seasonal crafts.
