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
