Expected Curtain

For some it is a lonely time of year, with family far away or because things have not turned out as one had hoped. Perhaps they would get a lift out of the the Expected Curtain, "a curtain for the lonely person.The initial idea was to design something for a safer walk home.The screen printed silhouettes of people on a white curtain disappear at day time and only become visible at night when you turn on the lights inside."

To them, and everyone, have a wonderful evening and a better tomorrow.
