A World in Blocks

I recently came across this poem by Robert Louis Stevenson and have been thinking about it ever since. The little boy is the son of a family friend.
What are you able to build with your blocks?
Castles and Palaces, Temples and Docks.
Rain may keep raining, and others go roam
But I can be happily biulding at home.
Let the sofa be mountains, the carpet be sea
There I'll establish a city for me.

The Christmas Elf

I wanted to make a CHristmas card this year and when I went through past photo references, I knew that this little boy would be a perfect Christmas elf! The gold paint on the border is metalic and reflective which gave the whole project a happy jester feel.
