"Good Wreath"

Ferrit had spent that last few days finishing off her Christmas wreath for Parnell Inc's "Good Wreath" Exhibition. She had made it up with lots of little screen printed soft objects and it was inspired by all the things that Christmas might mean to different people, from faith and religion, to love and romance, to presents and giving, to spending summertime by the sea and beaches.
