Minimalism: More! More!

Linda Sue, I love you! Linda Sue of Lady Margaret's Curlers made a minimalist manger out of "what was handy in the thing drawer":

She says hers isn't "adequately minimal". I'd thought that of mine too, since I used Sputnik to represent the star... But then thought,
There are no rules! We're in a pandemic! Do what you like!
Still, yes, a sonnet is not a sonnet if it's not to form. She says she'll make another one.

Meanwhile Sarah made a second minimalist nativity out of magnets that is truly and entirely adequately minimal:

Maybe I'll try again too...  Join us?

Oh--and for the opposite of minimalism, I am loving Michael plucking and posting sentences from Proust on Orange Crate Art.
"I am reading Proust", I can finally say... one sentence at a time.
Which, actually, is a pretty good way to do it. Each sentence is like a chocolate truffle.
