Just in Time for the Holidays: Richardson Center Snowglobes!

Buffalo State Hospital Snowglobe
Is November really over? I barely noticed it go by I’ve been so busy. But it’s my least favorite month and I’m jonesing for it to be 2010 anyway, so who cares? Oh yeah: the Richardson Center snowglobes are now available for purchase. You can currently see what they look like on the Avalon Scarves home page, and buy them online from their snowglobes page. I have to say, I like my virtual BSH snowglobe better, but I suppose I’m biased.

    I also liked your virtual rendition of the Richardson towers , but due to design limitations we could not place a long replica of the building inside the limited space of a round snowglobe. The actual size of the model inside is very small and is magnified by the water and curvature of the glass. We decided to highlight the administration building that the public is most familiar with the towers that can bee seen for miles around.

    Yeah, you definitely made the right choice regarding how much of the building to represent. My comment about liking my version better was an attempt at humor:) Mine’s kind of funny-looking.
