Santa Artist Trading Card

I have been reduced to featuring this 7 year old Artist Trading Card (ATC) today as the weather outside is beyond atrocious. When walking the dogs it felt like a gigantic hand was trying to push me down to the ground and on the way back I had to stop occasionally to gather my strength to fight the wind. And we aren't having the worst of it by far. Out in the West of Scotland and on the Isles it's much wilder than this. Poor people who are trying to get home with ferries as almost all services have been suspended.

So outside photography isn't an option and I searched my art for a Christmassy image. I didn't find a lot but discovered this Artist Trading Card (2.5 x 3.5") made in October 2006 which was a time before I started this blog (in December of 2006). I haven't done many ATC swaps in recent times as the postage costs have made it a very expensive occupation. But looking at this one I realized once again how much I used to enjoy producing them so you might see more of them in the coming year.

Hope you're all keeping warm and cosy in these wind swept days. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for our electricity supply and wifi and as long as we keep those I will continue my daily blip which you can see here.

Just in case I don't make it back here tomorrow I wish everyone a very peaceful day!
