Some of you may remember that last year I illustrated and published a book of my mom’s Christmas poetry.
This year I was going through my box of original illustrations, wondering what purpose they could serve besides sitting in said box for the rest of their days. Then it hit me… the Christmas illustrations could have a second life by becoming Christmas cards!
The inside of each card includes a poem written by my mother, and each painting is mounted on book pages from an old Christmas anthology.
Reasons to buy one of these cards from the Story Lorry:
- They are 100% one of a kind
- The repurposed paper makes them more eco friendly than a mass produced card
- You’ll be supporting a local artist
- You’ll be supporting a local author
- You’ll be supporting a local business
Win, win, win, win, win.
