Hello everyone, it’s been finally raining here in Southern California, so I’ve been enjoying many cozy days indoors with hot tea, warm feet and long painting sessions! Today I am so excited to be announcing a new painted series this holiday season-‘Cherish! : A Seasonal Triptych’. The first in this series is ‘A Snow Jar for Winter’, perfect for lovers of bell jars, terrariums and snow globes!
On surface the collection is about whimsical miniature worlds, a fun little triptych per season, but at heart it means to remind us to cherish and nurture all that is beautiful and precious in our own natural and built environments. There are three paintings in this ‘A Snow Jar for Winter’ set: ‘Noonday Firs’, ‘A Cottage Morning’ and ‘Evening’s Visitor’.
In the tradition of our ‘dream BIG’ cards, our new ‘Cherish!’ series are keepsake cards on artisanal materials that double as greeting cards or frame-able art; less paper going into the trash or landfill is always good! Many of our ‘dream BIG’ card fans often come back for a second set as they find it too hard to part with the ones they bought for loved ones and we are always so flattered when tell us this!
Both series have a little inspiring message as well behind its whimsical surface so pick up a set or two today and brighten up your loved ones’ holidays by reminding them to ‘dream BIG!’ or that ‘I CHERISH you!’
Available as a set of 6 or 12 single panel greeting cards (4.5″ x 6″) with choice of ‘Season’s Greetings’ or ‘Happy Holidays’ hand-lettered at the base of the snow jars. All cards are archival printed on gorgeous extra-thick handmade fair trade jute papers with wind-powered recycled envelopes; or as a set of 3 fine art prints (7″ x 10″), visit the shop to purchase.
Be sure to stay tuned for upcoming triptychs, there will be one for every season, so spring will be debuting early 2012!
