Merry Christmas!
This is my 2012 Christmas post card, sent bareback through the postal system. Made of hand-dyed cotton, backed with watercolour paper, it was stencilled with silver acrylic, stitched with metallic thread, and bedazzled with crystals.

The chevron and zigzag are seen in many of the costumes, and suggest an Art Deco influence.
