Remember to stir into flame...

 My Christmas card print turned out to be 
a painting as much as a print. 
At the kitchen table:

 

It started as a botanical print of  pine cone scales their holding winged seeds in their scales,
 but it took off in different directions. 
The top looks like the Hebrew letter Shin... 

 

..and the whole thing reminds me of 2 Timothy 1:6
"Remember to stir into flame the things of God."

(I used to send about 100 Christmas cards, but in recent years have barely send half that. I only printed fifteen of these--the rest will be commercial cards.)

It encourages me to carve more linoleum!
