A few more photos of artisan work at the Chicago International. These are some Christmas decorations that I was particularly taken with.
Karen Markland's display. I bought the angels on the back wall.
Here are a couple of close-ups of Karen's work.
I was rather taken by this little shelf but didn't buy it for some reason --which I now regret.
Another artisan who had a wonderful Christmas display was Veronique Bailleul from France. Her little Christmas tree (on the extreme right) is just wonderful.
Volker Arnold was also at the show--with his lovely daughter who speaks perfect English -- I bought a bunch more of his kits and have more coming by mail. Unfortunately, neither of the photos I took came out very well but I will post them anyway.
I love this (blurry) castle--one of the kits I bought.
That's it for Christmas at the show.
