improvising

I was making a gift for this santa surprise thing.
the object consist of different realms which
were thought of spontaneously while making.
The last realm came to me at the last minute
in which i needed some cotton to represent.
I also needed a nice string to wrap the gift.
it was already Christmas and I hadn't much time.
I went down to the nearest mall, closed.
then went to the most well known mall in this town, closed.
those were few hours gone to waste.
Desperately, I still needed those 2 materials.

Noiselessly, I came back home to my room.
and without notice,
STAB!

The pillow bleeds of cotton.
A necessary sacrifice.
I collected what was needed and continued
crafting my gift.

Finally, wrapping, I had no intend to use any cello tape to stick the wrapping together.
old school style ya know. I just wanted a plain string like those in candles.
So improvising with what I had, I turned my masking tape into
a textured string. The beauty of old school lies in the imperfections.

Back to topic of the how I got in to this situation.
I had no idea shopping centers so lifelessly close
during Christmas here. Back home, Christmas
or any other special holidays would be its most
vibrant and occupied. O well, lesson learned.

I'll show u the gift I made tomorrow,
and for now u get to see the mess i made.
