CHRISTMAS CARDS

There are two versions of two different images from paper cutting.  1st version is in the black background, and 2nd version is in the green background (each green is different).

Squirrel and Holly (left)

We have a big holly shrub in the garden, but the berries almost disappear by the beginning of winter every year.  I presume birds eat the most of the berries, and yet our neighbouring squirrels might contribute to consuming the red berries, though I have never witnessed it.  By the way, the holly berries are toxic to human.  So you never eat them!

Robin and Rose Hips with Holly Leaves (right)

Robin, of course, is a typical symbol for the winter here.  When I walk outside in the meadows near by our house in the late autumn and in the winter, I can find half-pecked ripe rose hips.  Sometimes, if I'm lucky, I can see the feast.

These are the original paper cut pieces; 11x11cm.

FOUR SEASONS
These four cards are extracts from the 'British Countryside Series'.  The size of the original paper cut is A3, and the images are trimmed for the A6 cards.

 TREE SERIES
These 4 pieces of relief prints are from 'Tree Series'.  They are 'Sycamore and Ash', 'Silver Birch', 'London Plane' and 'Bustard Service' .(clockwise from upper right)

TREE SERIES
These 4 pieces of illustrations are 'Tree Portrait Series'.  Clockwise from far right: 'London Plane', 'Silver Birch', 'Turkey Oak' and 'Horse Chestnut'.
