About this Product

Gather in my gaze,

explosion of light and scent

cottage garden NOW.

Yes, I have it. Spring fever. The last of the snow piles are gone and the creek is running high like a river. The white caps are stirring up more than the lake as a pair of geese waddle by, love on their minds.

Each evening, I bring the days energy to a small visual journal. And I can sure feel the garden whispering in the greening grasses and forsythia.

Meet the Maker

Kayle Rice: 

I was never very creative as I was growing up and as an adult I couldn't draw a straight line with a ruler. Imagine my surprise when "artist" popped up as #1 on a career aptitude test! The guanlet was thrown!  Over the years I've played with many mediums and being a slap-dash kind of gal, collage has become a favorite. I love using pan pastels, stencils, collage papers and my top favorite: "rusty bits", found pieces of rust. I try to complete each piece with a line from the Buddhist Metta Prayer of Loving Kindness. It's important to me that each piece I create has the spiritual imbued into it.

May you be at peace.


Kim Nunneley:

There is a place my mind goes when "creating".  The messy words quiet, yet I continue to express something sometime too difficult to verbally share.  One morning, music may whisk me along a brayer-rolled Gelli Plate, while on another day, I painstakingly do fine detailed inkwork to the sound of the lake washing up against the dam near my home. My favorite media is always the next one, my favorite art, the discovery of misty edges emerging and coming into being, laughing.  I stand in witness to the loves of my life--horses, flowers, trees, mandalas, wild colors and formal line--all at play in endless combinations. Is this not prayer?  Is this not grace?  

Blessings, abundant and fresh, to you.

How it’s Made

After drawing for a night or two, I colorized this piece with colored pencils. Then, I photographed the piece, printed it on high quality photo paper and affixed it to a blank 5x7" greeting card. (This actually makes it easy to remove the picture and frame the piece if you desire.). It was then slipped into a plastic sleeve with its matching envelope to await shipping. To you? :-)
