Saltaire Living Advent Calendar 2022
A few more of our Advent windows - the first a rather sweet scene of children decorating a Christmas tree. The bold silhouettes are a good technique to adopt when designing these windows; they have impact.
There are some story book images too. Most people will recognise Dorothy, Toto, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion, following the Yellow Brick Road and heading towards the Emerald City. Lucy, the window's creator, says that 'The Wizard of Oz' was her dad's favourite childhood film. Despite being 80 years old, the film starring Judy Garland is still a family favourite.
As to the window below, which says 'wishes do come true'... I guess someone is dreaming of a unicorn.
Yes the Wizard of Oz is a classic which can be watched over and over, like many of the popular old Christmas films. So far this year I haven't indulged...but who knows, Jimmy Stewart is calling me Home for the Holidays.
