I've been dying to share this story with you, dear readers, for a few months. Audrey Ellsworth is my star intern who's become a good friend. She puts up with a lot and I can count on her to provide brilliant ideas and practicality. It's a fantastic mix. Her birthday was a few months ago and I was antsy to give her a print I had bought ages ago by Jenny Vorwaller called "Sitting pretty" because, well, look! 
I gave her the print and then a few hours later she sent me the photo on the right. She had recreated the painting. Spitting image, non?! This anecdote relates to candy cane gift wrap how, you ask?Well, I needed some last minute gift wrap to put around the cardboard tube I gave her and decided to paint it candy cane stripes, of course. I thought it'd be a fun Christmas idea, especially if you need to send a care package for Christmas or if you're giving an art print. I'm sending a mini candy cane package out to someone tomorrow, in fact (look for it on Instagram). It's easy and fun and I bet you already have everything you need to do it.
So, what do you need exactly? This:
I'm not even going to verbalize the directions because I think you can see how easy it is.
Fun and easy. My two favorite words.photography by Trisha Zemp
