Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Since the beginning of December, my lovely daughter, who is an artist, has worked like a Trojan to bring joy, cheer and fun to the town where we live, Newton Abbot! Various businesses in the town ( and also some further afield) have employed her to paint their windows, all of which add to the festive flavour.
And all of this in between doing face painting parties, commissions, plus her work for a charity, etc etc etc.
Here are a few of the windows that she has painted.
And if that’s not all…she’s even managed to do her own window at home…
And now, she has finally put down her paintbrush and can enjoy her own, family Christmas.
I know how many hours she has given to this and how back breaking it can be…and not forgetting that most of this work is done from the inside!
I’m so very proud of her!
