Christmas cards

Diposting oleh fawaid on Sabtu, 13 Desember 2008

After seeing my mom's cute hand painted Christmas card I caught the bug to make some myself.

Unfortunately, I didn't quite inherit her painterly skills. I did, however, inherit her gusto when it comes to projects, so I gathered whatever supplies I already had; watercolor paper, black ink, and a few brushes.

After seeing her cute painted family cats, I decided to do some quick little portrait postcards of my new kitty wishing my friends a Merry Christmas. Random, maybe. Dorky, definitely. Not super "christmasy" either, which is fine by me this year.


I cranked up the A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack and spent about 30 seconds on each postcard. I'm no painter, but it was so much fun to see how childlike they were coming out and how some of them actually captured her girlish shyness.

Minnie even thought up poses and modeled for me the whole time (this is a big step, she normally just hides under my bed). I guess I'm not the only one here who's getting caught up in the christmas spirit!
