| Blue Virgin of Chartres 2010 22 3/4" x 6 1/4" Paper Mosaic on Artboard by jojo sabalvaro tan |
This is the image that was chosen by close family and friends for our 2011 Christmas card. This is the first year I am not using one of my Madonna and Child paintings. Instead, I am using the paper mosaic I made inspired by the stained glass windows I saw at Chartres Cathedral in France. I featured this piece in an earlier post, Paper Mosaic. I did do several watercolors for this year's Christmas Card (featured in earlier posts as well).
The three final contenders are as follows. Which one is your favorite?

This year I printed my own cards. It was difficult to find the appropriate sized card stock because the image is long and narrow. I found some Wilton tri-fold program card stock in the wedding aisle of a party store. It was the perfect size except I had to cut-off one of the folds. The card had a border in front that framed my image perfectly. I think this turned out the nicest card I made so far, but I do think that every year. I can't wait to get started on next year's card.
