Paintings of goddesses from Greece and Rome, Egypt, the North, Wales and Ireland, India, China and Japan, ready to print and send.
Postcards
Each painting is the one shown on that goddess’s page in the
Goddess Encyclopedia, where you can read her story.
“Print postcard” makes real postcards: the painting on one side and a postcard back on the other, with what the
painting shows, its painter and collection, and room for a message, an address and a stamp. Each painting fills the
whole front, so the edges of some are trimmed, keeping the faces.
Fronts printed. Put the printed pages back in the paper tray to print on their blank side:
If you’re not sure which way round, try it with one page first.
