Actual cards in the post

I may be in a very exciting world of digital EVERYTHING in my new role at GitHub, but I'm holding on to the tradition of sending physical handmade cards this Christmas. 

There's satisfaction found in making them (I 💚  hole punching), enjoyment found in writing personal messages, and a fuzzy festive feeling that comes from knowing I'd smile if I received something similar.

Made from old photos / paint gradient exercises / collage material / thread and spare brown card, they're also assisting in the ongoing house-clearing quest at chez Mum.

This year's Christmas cardlets have been influenced by my quest to lovingly rehome and/or productively use up the contents of mum's home.. 

Take one sewing machine, lots of sequins, some glittery thread and an old unused sketchbook. Here's a pile of results..

robins coming out of my ears

been drawing robins by the flockload over the last week. in a stamp shape because they are going to fly through the post (from the land of robin hood no less) and hopefully arrive before christmas. blob of paint for the red breast and a quick bit of machine stitching for added interest (still to be added to the bottom two... )
