A JOLT of Christmas sparkle!

 

While wandering Brisbane City for my Christmas shopping, the Riparian Plaza Christmas installation lit up my heart with its artistryand contemporary beauty.

Riparian Plaza Christmas Installation 

I was curious to unearth who were the clever creatives behind the installation,

and discovered it was the work of JOLT is a visual communication design studio based in Brisbane.

The creation process has been docmented on their blog.

After many hours of production, thousands of cable ties and nearly a kilometre of lights and cabling, the Riparian Plaza Christmas installation was installed very successfully.   

And JOLT also created these beautiful embossed Riparian Christmas cards for 2011.

Gorgeous work!

Stories are gifts :: A casually placed branch, picked up on a winter’s walk…

 

Divine zinc candle lit house lanterns and decorations, eco Christmas tree and paper bird cards.

Contemporary and natural with an old fashioned twist,

these decorations by Danish company Walther & Co show that there is

beauty in simplicity and shades of black at Christmas.

Festive holiday cake

 

Sweet Paul’s “Go to Holiday Cake” ~ simple to make and tastes great!

Serve it as it is, or with some frosting and a few cookie stars;

or some whipped cream and berries; or

hot chocolate fudge and vanilla ice cream.

Go to Holiday Cake (makes one loaf/cake)

1 1/2 stick butter, soft
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cup plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
confectioners sugar
water
shredded coconut
a few star cookies

Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a loaf tin.

Beat butter and sugar until light and airy. Add the eggs, one at a time. Stir well. Stir in flour, baking powder and vanilla. When you have a smooth batter pour it into the loaf pan. Bake until firm to the touch, about 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack.

Stir confectioners sugar and water to a smooth and thick glaze. Remove from pan and decorate with glaze, coconut and star cookies.
