What do you plan for it? (a semi-regular series)*

Answer #2: Gift it!

I love to give my art as gifts. Some of my favorite pieces of art to give away are collage dominoes. I often give those small tokens to friends and family in times of mourning or spiritual crisis. The small tokens are just enough more than a card that I feel like I am giving something tangible. The recipient finds them meaningful, yet also manageable. Plus, I love making them.

Occasionally, I give away larger pieces of art. I am planning to give this collage as a gift to a very special couple for Christmas. The problem is that I can't say who because I don't want to spoil the surprise. I can give some hints, though:

• this couple enjoys art and has taken art classes, even though I don't think of them as part of my group of art friends;
• this couple creates art and even displays their own original art in their home;
• this couple has given us original art, which we have displayed in our home;
• this collage features an image from a collage sheet I made which includes an element from their home; and
• I am indebted to this couple for creating a wonderful human being

Do you know who it is? If so, please don't spoil the surprise.

Have you ever given your art as gift? It's a wonderful thing to do.
