Summay:
The original card painting shows Santa putting the finishing touch on a toy steam locomotive. I put a miniature model of my Asymmetric Kite in place of the locomotive. Note the asymmetric tails. The kite is made from 1/32" square basswood, colored tissue paper, thread and Elmer's glue. The triangle hypotenuse is 107 mm long. The last photo shows Santa in his kite workshop with several kites being produced.
