Happy Holidays!

Like last year and the previous year, I used my Axidraw to create my holiday cards.

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:

I continue to enjoy using my Axidraw pen plotter.

The design was created with py5. Over the past year I continued to develop new renderers for py5 that are specifically designed for creating SVGs and SVGs for pen plotters in particular. Programming a new renderer is a lot of work, but it is also educational and a lot of fun. I am really happy with how this is progressing.
