There are black lines emanating from the candle representing rays from the flame. On the bottom printed in black calligraphic script “Season’s Greetings”. The paper is folded in three parts. The first piece is folded over and glued; it encases the piece of woven fabric that appears as the vertical shape on the front. Printed in black ink inside, viewer’s right “”Dear Mary I was disappointed to read in the HWSDA newsletter that you won’t be at the conference in Lethbridge. You will be missed greatly. Our More than - 4 study group is working on double weaves this year. We have several interesting samples on the go. Bob is in his last year of teaching- and especially as he is marking exams at the moment- he can’t wait for retirement. A very Happy New Year. Love Eileen & Bob Hett” Printed on the back in pencil “EILEEN HETT E14 - #11 - 93”
