Winter cards



Winter is here so I've been looking for wintry inspiration for a new range of cards.  The moon has loomed large, silhouetting a range of animals, all creatures I like to draw, though the badger was a new one for me, nice and sturdy so I may well return to him.  

I also found a reindeer lino block lurking in my old lino cuts and since it fits the theme I printed a few of those too. It just goes to show it's an idea I've had in my mind for a while.  And I watched blackbirds gorging on the berries on the whitebeam tree in my garden and put one on a card, as a change from moonlit nights. 

The cards are printed on pre-folded deckle edged Zerkell so have a quality feel about them, and of course they are hand printed using my little book press.  If you are interested in buying my cards then  email me at ruth0atkinson@yahoo.co.uk and I'll get back to you. I can send more photos too if you want to see more.
