📌 https://www.ciaraioch.com/artprints is now taking Christmas orders for prints, cards, and vouchers - each archival-quality print on heavy textured art paper is made in Ireland, ships internationally in eco-friendly packaging with discount tracked postage, has the option of including a hand-written gift note in old Irish style lettering, and comes with a FREE card and extra treats for every customer 🎁 Please support artists instead of billionaires this Christmas!
This is the first year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to the new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put a huge amount of work into every order to make them as high quality, personal, and environmentally friendly as I can, so even if you can't buy, any shares help to get them in front of eyeballs. Go raibh maith agaibh / thank you all! http://www.ciaraioch.com/artprints
