Nothing amazing but thought I'd share the e-card I made to send via email this year.
Based on a photogram I made a couple of years back during a photography evening class Pete and I attended.
Last year I had just returned from the Antarctic so my card was full of penguins and I almost used another photograph from that same trip for this year's card but decided at the last minute to go for something completely different.

PS Please don't tell me you hate it - I have already sent it out! :oP

Er.. it's a photogram created in a black and white darkroom on black and white paper.
I've never come across colour photograms, though I guess you must be able to make them, but I don't know for sure...
What is a photogram?
You know how a negative is created using a film camera? To print the picture onto paper the negative is placed in an enlarger machine and light shone through it onto the paper below. Where the negative blocked the light the paper stays white and where it gets through the paper goes black.
A photogram cuts out the negative.
You put the sheet of photographic paper beneath the enlarger light and place objects directly on it. Then you expose the paper to the enlarger light (no negative in the holder) for the required amount of time.
(You have to first work out time but I won't go into that).
The trick is to choose objects that are semi-opaque so as to achieve some interesting ranges in tone.
