About this Product
In purple she waits,
blessing the earth and the sky,
patience within her.
I enjoy creating designs that invite others to see what is within themselves. As an autistic woman, the practice of ink line on white paper calm my central nervous system and is usually a way I prepare for sleep. Often figures emerge where I had not planned any, and usually they have some kind of message for me. What does this work say to you?

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 night, I sit with my small multimedia pad of paper and my very fine ink pens. I create the images without a lot of forethought, and then use colored pencils to bring out details. Often in the process, figures will emerge. That's the fun part! Then, I photograph the work, make any adjustments to color and crop when necessary. Finally, the piece is printed on high-quality photo paper, affixed to a blank 5-7" card and inserted into a plastic sleeve with its matching envelope.
