So in the olden days, I used to make my own birthday and Christmas cards for people. When I was eighteen I was into Indian miniatures and Japanese painting, even though I was rubbish at immitating either! LOL
Here, for sh*ts and giggles, are some of my efforts, as found by my Aunty Margaret recently when she was tidying up. They are either birthday cards for her or for my Granny.
This is a pseudo Greco Roman one. I did love my Prussian Blue gouache!

And this a Moghul-esque effort that has gone badly wrong with the perspective

This is probably the best of the three - though who knows what the Japanese actually says, or even if I copied it right. Maybe chomaisky could tell me?

Those are lovely; they all have their own charm. My favourite is the greco-roman one, I think!

well my Gran liked to get things made by her grandchildren, while my Aunty says she kept them in case I became famous. She's well disappointed I never did LOL

Ohh so pretty! It's wonderful that your aunt kept these, and I can why, very beautiful.

she tells me she kept all my art works in case I became famous, and she's annoyed that I never did! LOL

It's not that well painted to be honest, and I've no idea why I chose brown for her kimono! But never mind, it was a long time ago!
