Christmas Cards

I have found that my daylight lamp fits on to my table, and the flex reaches to the plug – yay! I really need to sort out a Velux for the living part of my attic room but for now, it’s a daylight lamp.

I bought a selection of Khadi paper last time I was at Cass Art – not entirely sure why. Anyway I decided to use them for Christmas cards for family and friends; I don’t generally send or give any cards but I wanted to use my Khadi postcards and I had some old card blanks from years ago.

They turned out quite well, and I loved painting them as gouache works so well with the soft, spongy paper. I added white (difficult to see I grant you) as the creaminess of the paper rather invited it.

Please excuse the rather murky photos!
