From my 2024 archive:
Happy Christmas! My final Advent Shaker Calendar makes are a repurposed mini champagne bottle, and a repurposed wine bottle. I hope, however you are spending your day today, that you have a peaceful festive season and a prosperous New Year.
Video Transcript:
Well I’m looking forward to a Christmas break, and I’ve started early! So you can use wine bottles, or little champagne bottles, or water bottles, anything at all, and experiment with what you put inside. These are really, really fine stones, so I hope you’ll be able to pick this up.
Video Description:
Evelyn is stood in front of some archival shelves filled with boxes of carefully stored, cross referenced documents, and office diaries. She shows us the shaker she has created today, as part of her Advent Shaker Calendar (where she is making a new shaker every day in the lead-up to Christmas), describing what it is made from, and then demonstrates it.
