...are finally completed, and thank goodness for that. The out-of-country ones left last week, but the Canadian ones may be delivered sometime in 2025, given that Canada Post has just gone on strike, bless them.
Having finished with the cards, I'm now in process as I create the grandchildrens' yearly Christmas ornaments, and that's a great change of pace. This part of the table is so messy I'm not even sure you can pick them out.
There's more to come on them, of course, but there's time enough for that. I was desperate for some colour play, so I hauled out some unfinished pieces
and turned them into a glaze party with ochre fluid acrylic, olive green ink and quinacridone burnt orange heavy body. I've not made up my mind whether I like any of the glazes, but it was certainly fun to do.
With leftover paints on the table, I plopped some wet dryer sheets on top, and left them to dry, I thought.
Then it occured to me that I didn't have to stop there, so I smooshed the top half of an unfinished canvas piece into the very wet dark green dryer sheet
and then the bottom half into the burnt orange sheet. It could easily be left as is for further work, or cut in half to pursue two smaller pieces. I'm really liking the top green smooshed part.
And now I present you with the world's most Boring Blog Photo - this is the culmination of those weeks of Christmas card making, now complete, and hallelujah! It's such a wonderful feeling to finish a project, even if the postal service presents it from going anywhere.
Hope your week was both productive and fun, and may your postal service support you in every way. 😉
