Happy Holidays!

Like last year, I used my Axidraw to create my holiday cards. The results are even better this year:

two holiday cards with a christmas tree on each and the words "happy holidays" or "merry christmas" across the top

Here are some action shots of the Axidraw doing its magic:

It continues to be a lot of fun to use my pen plotter. I regret I didn't work with it as much as I would have liked over the past year. That's going to change in the near future.

Everything about the design was created with py5. I have been experimenting with new renderers for py5 that are specifically designed for creating SVGs and SVGs for pen plotters in particular. More on this in 2023.
