Sinterklaas

Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 6 December 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

We interrupt the Leeuwarden series because today it's Sinterklaas - and it's always celebrated the evening before. Here you see how we made "surprises" - little presents wrapped in fantastic paper and board constructions, preferable referring to odd things and features of the present receiver, more or less to tease him or her, together with a teasing poem about how Sinterklaas was thinking wgat he should give to ... etc.
On the picture my son and his favorite girlfriend are trying to construct a giant pencil for a girl classmate who asked for a box with color pencils. The thing will be painted when the glue has dried, and now it has become exactly a not very straight giant pencil!
He takes his chance to mess with the glue, because his mother has found an interesting piece of text in the torn-apart newspaper page :)

I'm proud of this picture even though it's not that crisp - it is totally unprocessed, uncropped, just as it was in the camera!
