Saturday Sculptures – December 10, 2022

are freestanding Christmas decorations considered sculptures?

I suppose they are sculptures adorned with lights. They have a framework that gives them shape and then are draped with glitter, babbles, stars and lights. Here are a few sculptures from the mall.

Walking Squares. – Inflatables – Yes or NO

thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/28/walking-squares-28/

As I walk through the neighbourhood I see more and more inflatable Christmas characters popping up on lawns. I can see how children might like them. They are rather whimsical and fun to look at but…..

…this is how it looks when they’re deflated

….many people don’t keep them inflated all the time. I’m not sure if it’s too costly to keep them inflated all day long but when they’re not inflated it looks like someone’s laundry has been strewn all over the front yard.
