Quirky Christmas Cards of Yore
I just got word of a really interesting find: Designer Mollie Siu-Chong's friend found some amazing homemade Christmas cards tucked away in her grandmother's house. "They were made by
Ted Sears, Disney animator from 1931-58,
and feature Sears, his wife Vee, and
their daughter, Marcia. His IMDB bio
states: 'To amuse himself, Ted
still drew for his friends and made
props for the plays his daughter
appeared in - he also produced his
family's Christmas cards which employed
his old love for trick photography an
special effects - these holiday cards
took months to prepare and were awaited
with great anticipation by over three
hundred recipients. (he lettered the
envelopes individually, turning each
name into calligraphy.)'"    Mollie's curious whether anyone knows where Marcia, Ted's daughter
who was featured prominently in many of the found cards, is now?
