Van Gogh Peasants


To celebrate the forthcoming sixtieth birthdays of my parents. From 'Two Peasant Women Digging in a Snowy Field' (1890) by Vincent Van Gogh. Currently held at the Foundation E.G. Bürhrle, Zurich.


Pop Up Brownings















A pop up card, showing Elizabeth Barratt Browning and her husband Robert Browning. Their courtship and loveletters have become famous. Made as a Valentine's card for my wife.

Pop Up Tennyson













A pop-up card of Lord Alfred Tennyson made as a Christmas card for my wife. As you can see, his eyes move from side to side and his mouth opens. Perhaps he should be imagined as declaiming his long dramatic monologue, 'Maud'.
