The sentiments are extended to all my e-friends for the 2016/17 Festive Season. May it be happy and bright.
Some years ago, when I was a potter, I made gold ceramic angels that sold like hot cakes. I kept a couple for myself, and am often asked if I have more for sale. Sorry, am past that stage of my creative path.

I've often used digitally manipulated images for cards:
There have always been some friends for whom I actually make 'real' cards. These are my arty mates from years ago, and my closest local friends.
This year I did some Gelli prints, and a few collaged cut-out arrangements.
Of course it wouldn't be Xmas without angel earrings would it? I must've made dozens of pairs, both for sale and to wear myself.
Each year my local art group has a 'Secret Santa' . We decide early in the year what the project will be. It began as a small painting or collage but, this year, has progressed to a decorated silk fan.
Here is my effort:
The list could go on ad infinitum....but enough is enough. Just pointing out that having Xmas begin in October real for me. Am already thinking about next year's 'Secret Santa'....a tissue box. Hmmmmm... collaged, beaded, or painted...or a combination of all?
But first....on the easel is a large painting for my first exhibition next year, at the end of January. More about that later.
See you in 2017 !!! Have a wonderful celebration and stay safe, healthy, and happy.
