You could not help but feel Christmassy drying up with this tea towel decorated with my 12 days of Christmas lino cut prints. Even the drying up could be filled with festive fun as you can remind yourself whether its eight maids a milking or nine ladies dancing as you sing-a-long at the sink
The print depicts my humorous take on the traditional Christmas song where I challenged myself to fit each of the twelve presents given by ‘my true love’ into a square lino cut print. This became increasingly difficult as the presents mounted up. One partridge was simple sitting in its pear tree, two turtle doves as well, in fact until I reached eight maids a milking it was going swimmingly…
How to fit all eight maids and their cows in? - They must have their cows or they would not be milking - as you can see I came up with a genius solution!
After finishing all 12 prints I made this Christmas tea towel which has been consistently popular for the last few years. Along with the set of greetings cards this year I have added an apron, a double oven glove and wrapping paper to the collection.
