About this Product
Hold close, tiny plant
roots finer than spider web
the sun calls you home.
This whimsical piece arrived in the spring, just before planting season. The tiny seeds, and the delicate and fragile growth they birth seem to have called forth a watchful presence. Even in delicate times we are called toward the sun like they are, and find the balance between our new growth and our driving urge to grow and deepen. May this card accompany you on any new journey you are beginning.

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
Each evening, I sit down with my pen and paper and let an image arise for me. This one was really about the change of seasons, and the fragile beauty of new growth.
After ink, I add colored pencils, then photograph the piece. It's then affixed to a blank 5x7" greeting card and slipped into a plastic sleeve with its matching envelope. Enjoy!
