Since I last posted here about my daughter's bedroom, she has been diagnosed with autism and ADHD. I have always known she was a little bit different from other children but always embraced her differences.
For years I had an idea of making her her own elf for Christmas. Being an 80s child, I was brought up with what is debatably the best era of films like Labyrinth, Gremlins, The Goonies, Never Ending Story, and Honey I Shrunk the Kids—just a few of the amazing films that came out of the 80s. I believe these types of films helped mold my ideas. I knew I wanted an elf but I wanted an elf in the way I believe an elf would look in real life. I wanted him to look realistic, making him more believable, and so my daughter would believe longer. I sculpted lots of different designs but I was never happy until I finally came up with the elf we have today.
