Carded.

whatever this phase of life is--i've recently decided to hang up any more presumptive thoughts or pressing "why's" and "why not's"--it's a perfect catalyst for the conception of ideas (i.e. more cards):

"hummingbird fly"

(a close up: newsprint wings. my favorite.)

"hello."--this card was inspired by "where the wild things are," which is weird because (a) i haven't seen the movie and (b) I don't remember the book being quite so cheerful. but i had friendly monsters with large teeth in mind when i was making this card...





i can't decide if this is a just a sort of "not your average peacock" card, or a "Happy Thanksgiving, Turkey" card, or maybe it's just a perfect hybrid-- the turkpock:








...last and not least, inspired by my love for coffee and newsprint and Africa and World-Market.







maybe, if I don't get married, instead of being a seamstress, or an eccentric old woman who fills her lonely life with cats, i can make cards. yes, that is what i'll do. make cards and send them out to random people that i find in the phonebook.

it has been decided.
