Greetings Cards

[Eledhwen]

I thought that as Christmas is coming it would be good to see some attempts at Christmas cards, birthday cards or other holidays posted by this Forum's esteemed artists.

Mine's a cheat. It's a photograph which I've tweaked with Bitmap (Word Paint for the jargon-free!). It's not strictly Tolkien (well, not at all, actually), but the Town Hall (right) is built above stone pillars and no-one really knows how old it is, and the town's name, Wootton Bassett, reminds me of Wootton Major ('Bassett' got added when a guy called Alan Bassett became lord of the manor several hundred years ago).

Happy Christmas Everyone!

This is a more Tolkien theme, with modern tat mercilessly grafted on.

Oh! So sorry, I rarely ever go to the Guild by non-email methods so I didn't notice these threads, I thought your cards were wonderful!

I made a Christmas Card.

Featuring Gollum/lion (if you're familiar with my lion crosses art)

Everyone that received the card loved it. I thought it was cute.

Those are great cards, all of them.
Tal, I love your gollum/lion. It's very cute.
*wishes she had more talent in art!*
