Art for Birthday Presents.

crazychicknladyWe have a double Birthday party coming up. One friend turning thirty something, and the daughter of another friend turning three.
Last year we were blindsided about the thirty something's Birthday, when we thought we were just attending the then two year old's party. As it so happened, I was still making octopus dice bags at the time, and had one nearly done, tucked away in the crochet bag I had with me; I spent most of the party finishing it up to give as a present to the adult Birthday girl.
This year the double nature of the party was included in the party description (in the form of a Facebook event, of course). Thanks to the borosilicate glass class S and I took this summer, I have a very generous supply of unique, hand crafted, pendants to give away.
For the three year old, we also went for unique and artsy (since the parents specifically asked for no toys for presents), but figured handing her a wad of glass wouldn't be the wisest course of action.
Instead, M and I commissioned a piece of art from H, representing the Birthday girl and her baby brother as ponnies. My Little Pony was listed among the three year old's interests in the party invite, and H is amazingly talented.
