You're sitting with a fir tree in a dark room. It's quiet and the air smells fresh. You let your eyes unfocus and all the lights get little halos around them.
I've been thinking of doing an elaborate, lit-up tree card for some time. I've formatted this one half-way between a card and one of my art prints (for framing and hanging on your wall). It's a tiny bit bigger than all my other cards and printed in a limited edition of 240. Every print is signed and editioned along the bottom. AND it has a folded structure with a blank interior to write a note to your loved ones.
For the printmaking nerds: This is a CMYK linocut, which I have never done before. The cyan, magenta, and yellow layers were entirely pressure printed with paper masks that I cut out strategically. The only carving happened after the colour layers and before the black. Does that count as linocut reduction? I don't know.

This is a 5x7 print and will fit easily in an off-the-shelf frame. For once, black is a good option.
