In one of the many exhibitions going on in
Malta, I came across a display of traditional and vintage Christmas cards reproduced in
watercolors in a 3D format. They were all placed in a square box with each
scene having 4 to 5 layers at different spacing, to create a 3D effect.

The
artist is George Apap and he happened to be there when I was visiting. These
are just 3 of the 30 Cards reproduced. Since I've been dong watercolors myself, I was mesmerized by the intricacy and detail of the work produced. If anyone is interested to see more,
please send me an e-mail at dungiljan@gmail.com and I will be happy to send a
copy of the others. A Blessed Christmas to all visitors of this blog.
