Obviously, 2020 has come and gone. It seems many people had a rough year. I have been quite busy, although that doesn't necessarily mean that I was productive.
In February my Wife and I both had the dreaded Corona virus. As a flu-like illness it wasn't that bad, except that I also had conjunctivitis (viral "pinkeye") associated with it, and that part was really bad for me (for about a week).
We had pretty severe forest fires near here and the smoke was so bad that we hardly went outside or opened any windows for a couple months in August and September.
Then this happened in another unit in the same building where my mint workshop is located:
The business there was involved in fixing large motor homes and RVs. Obviously, that business and the large RV inside were a total loss. Fortunately, there was no direct damage to my units. But I was without full power for three weeks, and no heat or water for a month during November and December.
So I was unable to produce anything for KotCT in 2020 as I had hoped. At this point I would like to consider something that spans both years 2020 and 2021 (sort of like how the "Dark Side" medal spanned four years 2012-2015).
I think I would like to try a different format this year. Maybe not the same shape as past years. Also, maybe this one time I could just do the design in "secret" and not reveal it until the finished medals are shipped ?
I have a couple ideas that have not been discussed previously, but could be fitting for these times.
