Lost socks, launderettes and Christmas

Here's a thing I've never done before: help decorate a launderette for Christmas. And not just any old decorations, either. This was conceptual art installation masquerading as festive bedecking. J's original concept: all the socks lost in the launderette in 2012, collected. Idea development: what have socks got to do with Christmas? Project implementation: put lots of crafty bits together, round up some willing helpers, send out for coffee and hot chocolate, and get stuck in!

Bare walls - getting started

Fixing the trees up

Lines and baubles...

Get the socks...they're all clean, honest!

Hanging socks

Hanging more socks....

Cutting out Santa

The lettering's tricky


Final touches

Finished!
