We love to hand-make all of our birthday cards for family and friends. Sometimes the card is a hurried affair, slapped together moments before deadline; sometimes it’s a painstaking endeavour. But all the family enjoy this tradition.

Sometimes a fairly quick creation turns out well. And of course all art practice feeds into and informs the other art that you do.

Here’s a card done this morning for a friend turning 50. Her alter ego (so some of us decided in our wisdom ;-) is Sheena, Queen of the Jungle.

Later I’ll post a selection of cards made by all of us.
