On her way home from college. Christmas break her sophomore year, the middle daughter, Alison, saw an unusual display of lights - a half-dozen balls wrapped with mini lights. Shiny objects attract crows and industrial design majors. No sooner home, the wide-eyed artist grabbed me and we high tailed over to Holliday Hardware. Fetched chicken wire, twisted, rolled, molded, and voila, an ordinary piece of scrap became a magical sphere...waiting to be crowned with a zillion mini Christmas lights. Shown here, the Queen of Toad Hall wraps a newly formed ball with 200+ mini lights.
