Christmas Card 2018 – carving

you might remember last years Christmas card. it was of barnyard animals sitting under a bright, new star. see it here.

today I started my 2018 Christmas card. I wanted to stay with the new star theme… but with woodland animals!

work in progress woodcut of chirstmas card — More carving to make the stars twinkle, and to bring out the shape of the tree
