Ffestinog trains: handmade personalised greeting cards, signed prints and originals - card and engine compositeIntroducing the new site dedicated to handmade personalised greeting cards with Ffestiniog trains plus signed prints and originals illustrated, personalised and printed by Welsh artist Rebecca Kitchin. All her work is designed, personalised and printed in her studios in North Wales. Enjoy her captivating illustrations of the Ffestiniog 'steamy ladies' (not, of course, excluding the 'boys'!). "All I want to do is capture the sheer weight of so many of tons of steel in motion, enveloped by the clouds of gushing steam - my paintings are little to do with the nuts and bolts!" If you are searching for handmade and personalised greeting cards with illustrations of Ffestiniog trains from the engineering point of view, you are probably on the wrong site. Rebecca's approach is more 'impressionistic' and nobody is better equipped to take on board this challenge - she not only lives in the 'Ffestiniog steam train valley' but also works for the Ffestiniog Railway.

Becky's brief for this exciting new range was to capture the essence of steam and machine and not an attempt to provide an engineers record of the engine itself. Just click here to see the range of ten sepia images with an impressionistic feel. Each image is available as a greeting card (with or without message - see examples top and left), signed print in 10" x 8" mount with or without frame and A4 signed limited edition print.

Unless you specify otherwise, all cards will be supplied with no message.
