\"Christmas<\/p>\n

This year’s Christmas card was another mini-adventure. Lilly and I were kicking around several ideas before we arrived at the final design. The front-running idea we had I called Fat Santa Monkey Bauble:<\/p>\n

\"Fat<\/p>\n

He was cute, but Lilly was struggling with his sack and we realised a three-colour job (one of the colours white) would’ve been a bit ambitious for our tiny press. We sat there trying to think up some other ideas, and because our flat is littered with my washing-machine-based artwork<\/a>, Lilly suggested we did some kind of festive washing machine.<\/p>\n

Yeah!<\/p>\n

It might be me with the washer obsession, but this card was Lilly’s idea. I’ve taught her well!<\/p>\n

The post-it notes came out, and this scrawl met Lilly’s approval…<\/p>\n

\"Post-wash\"<\/p>\n

…Then with a bit of reworking (Lilly said he should be smiling proudly at his washer, not frowning at its extravagant spin as I had imagined the scene), we had our design finished. We thought it looked like it should be a New Yorker cartoon.<\/p>\n

\"We<\/p>\n

We sat on the design for a couple of days to make sure we were happy with it, then as soon as I sent the artwork off to the plate manufacturers to print, Lilly had an attack of second thoughts, worrying it was too weird. It was too late though, and after a couple of days’ wait, the plates arrived and we were in print.<\/p>\n

\"Lilly's<\/p>\n

Once they were all made, Lilly became a believer again, so into the postbox they went!<\/p>\n

Merry Christmas to everyone, whatever your faith or washing machine brand!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
