This shop only sells in Great Britain. Open up to Christmas and over the holidays. Use the Contact button to request a post upgrade if you want Next Day Delivery. I print cards onto a sustainable English acid free, archival watercolour paper, prepared for digital print on both sides, so I can print a custom greeting inside; although cards are blank inside unless you request printed text inside. They are packed in compostable clear bags. Prints are on digital fine art papers. I specialise in hand sewing silk and natural fibres for apparel. I often re-use packaging to send you your orders.
If you want a product which is listed as unavailable or sold out, or you want to order more cards or prints than are listed in stock, please click on Contact above this announcement to send me a message and I will let you know if it is still in stock and/or if I can make more. I can usually make more cards quickly, up to 20 in a few days. For larger quantities I will let you know how soon I can make them for you.
Please contact me if you want a postage upgrade or if you need products sent quickly.
I made a simple working sketch of my Christmas Cactus plant, not in bloom, during the summer of 2020 from a challenge by another artist to draw a houseplant "blind" which means drawing without looking at the paper, just the plant. I then made a drawing using pencils and oil pastels on some Somerset black paper, which St Cuthberts Mill started making again around that time. Hence the title Cactus on Black. The plant forgot to make some pink blooms at Christmas 2020.

Full description
Drawing of a Christmas Cactus I made in the summer of 2020. I drew a quick pencil sketch during a challenge from another artist to draw a houseplant "blind" i.e. without looking at the paper, just at the plant. I then redrew it with pencil and oil pastel onto 280 gsm Somerset black paper.
I scanned it myself to produce cards and giclee prints. This listing is for cards. Prints and original artwork are in a separate listing.
I print cards myself on a 190 gsm digital fine art card, a medium weight lightly textured card, with an A4 desktop inkjet printer using archival inks. Available as either a portrait card or landscape card. 1 of each in stock.
This card is A5 folded to A6 with a C6 white paper diamond flap envelope and is packaged in a clear compostable bag. The card is blank inside for your own message.
Cards are £3 each or £12 for a box of 5.
Message me using the Contact button at the top of the shop page if you want to order more cards than are in stock.
One of the print photos shows the Christmas cactus with pink blooms around Xmas time, but the drawing was made in summer when there are no blooms on the plant, just leaves. It is actually a succulent rather than a true cactus plant.
