The Art of Sharon Mount

Wedding Chapel Three, Maryland - Copyright Sharon Mount

Sharon says, “I’m Sharon, and this is my collection of tiny buildings crafted from business cards, packaging and other nice papers.

In the 1970s, when our children were young, my husband, James Mount, started a collection of tiny buildings – made from odds-and-ends cardboard packaging. The original idea was for them to be Christmas decorations – to be placed over tiny white lights on our tree, or to gather on a side table as a little village. Each holiday, James would add to our collection. A few were given to friends, but most rested in an attic-stored box through most of the year…escaping for Christmas, to our delight.” Link

Emily Jocureton has found more than just words in her daily issue of the New York Times Crossword Puzzle section. Looking past the blocks of white and black Emily creates a creative world by using different words and phrases found within the puzzle. Phrases such as “tack spasm”, “faze lobes”, and “clam inajam” get Emily’s creative juices flowing. So much so that they flow right on out onto the puzzle itself. Link
