Christmas card making

Recently I've been making my Christmas cards for this year.  Here are some photos of the progression of printing I did.

Here are the trees that printed using a fern leaf below.  I printed on white fabric.  The top fabric strip is the first step.  I painted a sky.  The bottom strip is the same fabric with the ferns printed on them to look like Christmas trees.

 
Then I painted on some silver paint and added some Christmas balls below.

Next I cut out the individual trees and put them on my cards.  It's too bad I had to cut them out in a way because they looked kind of good in a line.  So now I'll sign them and send them out soon.  Talk to you soon.

Sttitsville Library Exhibit - Canadian Landmarks

I've been busy the last while organizing the Stittsville library exhibit that we have had every year for several years with Out-of-the-Box.   I was the organizer this year.  The theme this year was Canadian Landmarks.  This could be interpreted fairly loosely as a place, an event in Canadian history, something recognizably Canadian etc.  We had quite a few pieces submitted which was great.  We hung up the show on November 1st.  It will be at the Stittsville Library for the month of November so if you're in town, please go and have a look.  Here are a few photos.  And there are prices on the artwork for many of them.

The Tim Hortons piece is a rug hooking done by hand.  A lot of work!

There's a glass display case with three dimensional objects too.  This is a doll representing the lady who sewed the first Canadian flag in 1964.

This one is called Ode to Newfoundland.  Juanita Sauve created this one and she wrote a song Ode to Newfoundland which is on the back of the piece.

Do go and have a look at the show if you can.  Thanks for having a look.
