a christmas aesthetic?
Paris themed posts will come soon ( I keep forgetting to charge my camera so I can download the photos and I may need to draft them a few times...) but in the meantime I'm trying to decide on a theme/aesthetic for my Christmas cards for this year. Last year's had a gothic theme and featured a raven (or crow?) and lots of frosty coloured glitter! I was really pleased with them as they met with my appreciation for the slightly darker things in life and general dislike of the typical snowman/father christmas/redgreenwhite aesthetic so I'm finding it hard to come up with something better this year... Generally I try to go for a wintery seasonal theme rather than a festive Christmas one. So far I've come up with a few ideas: a green/gold/leopard print combination (one of my favourite colour combinations generally), a yellow/orange/gold/woodprint 70s aesthetic featuring woodland animals eg. squirrels, owls, deer or something collage based depending on what's in my collaging bag. I'm thinking the orange and yellow idea might be the best? Do you spend a long time agonising over an aesthetic for your Christmas cards/wrapping/decorations?
P.S. The herbs are growing - photos to come soon!
