What seemed like a simple idea — to craft the word “Merry” from evergreen needles — turned into a days-long project with sap-covered fingers. Despite the sticky mess, the project provided a fun and festive way for Carolyn to send clients a one-of-a-kind holiday greeting.
If the letters in “Merry” appear familiar, there’s a reason: at the time, the font P22 Marcel™ Script was still in development. Oversize outlines of individual letters-in-progress were used as a template for the needle constructions.
