You know how a lot of families send out family portraits with their Christmas letters? I had this idea to make an illustration of a nativity scene with the members of our family in it. I made this last night, and had a lot of fun. Just wanted to share. [Smile]

Bev, that's adorable. You're so talented! I have a feeling people will be saving your card for a long time.

[Eek!]

Wow, that's amazing! And a very cute idea.

When you color it, can I have blue hair?

Posted by Boris (Member # 6935) on :

That's awesome. Is the Guinea pig (Hamster???) part of the family, too?

Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :

Thanks everyone! [Smile]

That is our guinea pig, Ender. Good eye on picking that out! [Wink]

MPH: no

I love that!! It's a great idea and amazingly executed!! [Big Grin]

That's really cute. My husband wants to do an illustration for our family pics this year but I'm a little afraid that people will be upset at not being able to see the kids in real life. Jes is just pretty artistic, and on top of that he hates having pictures taken. Maybe I could take pics of the kids with a cheap camera and include them. Not sure.

But I've gotta have the blue hair!

Posted by Stan the man (Member # 6249) on :

Purple hair? [Razz]

that is a great idea....I have not seen anything like it.

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

Very, very nicely done. [Smile]

Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :

That's so cool! Would you consider taking on some for commission?

Posted by Vána (Member # 6593) on :

Wow - that is amazing! What an incredivle idea, and so well done. [Smile]

Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :

Shan, sure. Drop me a line. Email's in the profile. [Smile]

Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :

Wow, I'm impressed. That's a great drawing of your family. And what a cute idea!

Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :

E-mail's off and away! [Smile]

Bev, that is awesome... and I'll think about commissioning you as well (too bad I'm Jewish, right?). You rock! That is SO cool!

I wish I were that creative.

Posted by Sopwith (Member # 4640) on :

That's so cool!

Very, very cute.

Posted by Lupus (Member # 6516) on :

wow, that is good!

it is very cute as well [Smile]

Posted by beverly (Member # 6246) on :

Thanks all of you! I really appreciate it. You see, I haven't been drawing much lately. I have been focusing more on music and performace. I even started getting down on myself that I wasn't *really* and artist. (You know, that EVIL voice in the back of your head?)

Raia, while this set up might not work for you, there are endless possibilities. Being Jewish is never a problem by any means. [Big Grin]

Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :

SO cool [Smile]

Posted by Vadon (Member # 4561) on :

Aw, that is cute. I like it.

Wait, a guinea pig... I hold a vendetta against the things, I personally um... Well, let's just say they fear the blender near me.

But, you named it Ender... Now that's just... gyah. How dare you!

Really though, good card.

Posted by Zotto! (Member # 4689) on :

Awesome drawing, Bev. [Cool]

Could you draw a nativity picture using Sauron, Orcs, nazgul and...oh, ok...I'll take my medicine and go back to the padded cell. [Blushing]

Posted by whiskysunrise (Member # 6819) on :
