I am very excited that I have SIX new greeting cards available for purchase. They are printed from my watercolour pencil drawings.
There are TWO new Christmas cards to join the four that I already have . These two Christmas images were drawn in the last two month, specifically for these Christmas cards. They were drawn on A4 watercolour paper . I tried to think of colourful Christmas themes that fit within my drawing style. I love to draw food and smaller objects. These two were great fun.
fungi – drawn from fungi on small branches collected in Toowoomba
Squirrel – Drawn from one of many photographs I took of squirrels in Kensington Gardens in London.
Drawn from old keys that I have collected over the years,
Old Law books on the shelves at work.
I have been working on this project for about two months. Four of the drawings are from my sketchbooks over the last few years. It took a long time to decide which drawings would look good on cards and appeal to other people. Just because a drawing looks good, doesn’t mean that it will make a good card.
The excitement of taking delivery and unpacking my new cards
Once again, my local printers Print Together, have reproduced the subtle colours and lines of watercolour pencils. The cards were delivered last Wednesday and I have spent the last few days, putting envelopes inside them and sealing each one in a cellobag. Yesterday I started to take photographs of the cards to put up on my Etsy online store. It was a lovely sunny day, so I went to the park.
They are now available for purchase from my Etsy online store for $AUD 5.50.
