C-24 // A virtual Christmas Card

Hi all. It's been a lean month for posts this month as I've been away with my family, and busy tying up a multitude of loose ends (still a few to go.)

A few weeks ago I did another linocut print. Inspired by a comment (thanks Geoff) I had a go at making a more intentionally Christmassy one. It was also an opportunity to try a couple of other techniques - a reduction print (yellow printed first, then more of the block removed and overprinted with green) and also using a second block (red). It was quite challenging to get all the colours to line up. This one is not perfect, but is one of the better ones... Ah well. Practice makes perfect huh? I was going to print a whole heap and send them out as Christmas cards but I've run out of time, so this cyber version will have to do...

Merry Christmas!

Have a wonderful Christmas day, a relaxing New Year and all the best for 2010.

By the way - if you're looking for something to do on New Year's Eve, That 80's Band will be rockin' the Square in Palmerston North. We did it two years ago and it was insane. :-) Hard to believe I know, but Palmy is a funny town. Full of surprises.
