A finished set of Christmas Cards.

Christmas Cards Set

The set of cards illustrated above is one of the designs commissioned for 2012. To create a two colour image of the owners house, I have used original photographs and sketches as the basis for a design which uses two carved lino printing blocks.  The block which I print from first is the coloured background layer, onto the top of which I print the second inked block, which in this case is black, and contains most of the the detail of the image.

In this instance, I have used the two lino-blocks to print thirty cards and two limited edition, mounted images. The cards are titled and signed in pencil, blank inside and come with envelopes and a protective plastic sleeve.

Although these cards are intended for Chritmas, Rosie and I undertake commissions for cards and images at any time of the year of for any occasion.  Prices start from £40 per block, which includes the image design.
