Christmas Card Production Line

 


It might seem tedious to some--there are forty to do- but as I work, I keep finding different ways of doing things and small improvements to add or to speed up the process. Plus, the watercolor hues shift about and keep me entertained.

I think of these as celebrating the Winter Solstice but after staring at them a while, decided to add a sprig of holly on the stag's horns as a nod to traditional Christmas.

Your recipients will be delighted to receive a beautiful hand-made card.

I can why that activity would be joyful and meaningful. It's one that I don't think can be rushed in the rushing season.

These are going to be treasured by the recipients. I bought stamps and cards, then remembered my shaky hands make it difficult to write, so addressing envelopes would be most unpleasant. So glad you're continuing with your art!

Very much appreciated by everyone who receives them, I'm sure.

I have been working on sending cards out to this day. I made the cards last month, addressed the envelopes two weeks ago, now it's the final inside greetings.

Marcia has the right idea. I should have started earlier. But it's still a pleasant, meditative occupation. And I listen to audiobooks while I'm doing it.
