My Christmas Cards

December 19, 2019

I have always made my own Christmas cards. At first I made linoleum blocks and printed each one but in 1983 I began creating with a partner – a copier! So now if I make a block print I only make one and then I copy it. I don’t just use block prints though, I’ve used pen, pencil, and marker as well as cut paper and collage. With my limited artistic ability I usually adapt or alter images I happen on or search for. I often attach embroidery thread to my cards turning them into ornaments which many recipients save and display. The other day I received three photos over text or email featuring them.

This photo from a Baby Group Mom came in a text with the caption “my favorite decorations!” It’s kind of hard to see the mittens from 2003 and the bird from 2008 hanging in the windows.
An assortment from the Baby Group Mom that lives at the Cape! This year’s is the plaid tree at the bottom.
“Added a star to my creche” wrote my niece. I actually hadn’t made this one from last year into an ornament but she saved it anyway!
