Hi all,
In so many ways – this felt like a very long year – yet here we are – December with all the seasonal traditions that come with it.

Make your own Christmas cards – 1 min clip
Over the last couple of years I’ve created my own Christmas cards. This year I’ve taken to the black pen and hand drew cards for my friends.
Creating your own Christmas cards is really easy to do. It instantly becomes a gift which is unique to someone you love dearly. If you can draw a triangle then you can create your very own personalised cards in no time at all.
- Here’s some basic instructions I put together
- I’ve used blank cards from Kmart – $3 for a pack of ten.
- Sharpies for colour – a posca pen for the white bits, black pens – all which can be purchased from Officeworks.

Comic Art Classes for 2021
Comic classes will run in 2021 – with Comic Art the basics (covers faces, bodies, food and then bringing it all together). Following that class will be Comic Art studio – a less structured class where kids have the option of working on their own projects. Every Saturday 930 am – starts 13 Feb 2021 – please feel free to contact me if you would like more information – details will be listed on Ashburton’s Community Centre Course portal.
