Merry Christmas


In previous years I've made lots of Christmas cards but this year I only made one with bits and bobs saved from last year. 

Merry Christmas everyone

Last Christmas - 3 - Cards

These are my Christmas cards from the past couple of years. I don't actually make every one by hand, but start with an embroidery or collage I have made which is scanned and several cards of each design printed.


Last year's card was taken from an embroidery I designed and made several years ago. It was scanned and edited to include the wording before printing.


These four collages were used two years ago. For three of them I used hand made (home made) paper for the background and in all of them the image is made of a variety of materials - paper, cloth, tinsel, sequins, old cards etc
