One of the main reasons I create art is to delight others – even if it’s just one other person. I spend hours composing these posts, and that’s because I know those of you that are here genuinely appreciate my work and that means the world to me. I would love to be able to do that more directly, so I’m starting a snail mail club, where members receive a small piece of my artwork in an envelope every month in hopes that it might brighten their day. I will still keep sharing my artwork here though!
This month’s offerings will be my Winter Bird art cards. Each envelope will include 3 random cards, each one embellished by hand with metallic ink. There’s a lot of symbolism and associations with birds that I found interesting and I think including some light reading gives the illustrations context and meaning. I hope distributing these as physical pieces will make the art more fun to look at and share – these are trading cards after all!
As I am still working on these (printing them, mounting them on sturdy cardstock and making them beautiful and sparkly), and am aiming to have them delivered before Christmas for people in the US. There will be separate subscriptions for domestic and international friends. Please join by the 15th of December in order to receive this month’s artwork!
Thank you for the support and Happy Holidays!
