About this Product
Blue wings, three in flight,
cellophane and summer bloom
fragile and alive.
This work always reminds me a snapshot in time--all things that will pass away, move on, compost and yet...so much aliveness in a glance. I can feel the wings beat, the flowers nod in the summer winds. Lovely juxtapositions of flight and roots, of hunting and staying put, of blues against reds. Who could use a snap-shot breath of life today?

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 with my sketch book and pens and create simple drawings. This work is so very different from more intentional watercolor, Gelli Plate or acrylic pieces I also enjoy playing with. This is my shutting down time, my digest the day time, and I am always gently amazed what happens on the page.
Most of my pen works are colored with high-quality colored pencils. The image is then photographed and printed on great photo paper, then applied to a blank 5-7" greeting card. The card is placed in a plastic sleeve with its envelope and it's ready to mail!
