Thorns in Snow Fine Art Greeting Card

You may recall that I recently shared a photograph of Thorns in Snow on my "Abstractions in Winter" blog post. I had such a positive response that I decided to offer it as a greeting card. I'll be working on a nature set of greeting cards and would love to hear your suggestions. Let me know your favorites that you would like to see as cards. Thanks!

Send Flowers

It is January in Colorado and that means cold and snow. We had a storm front plunge the mercury to below zero as the snow fell. So because of the cold shivery temperatures I felt inclined to stay inside and work on a new set of flower cards that so many of you have asked me to do. I think they came out really well and am proud to offer them for your approval. They have the look of fine stationery with the insides as lovely as the outside. Tell me what you think.

Chickadee Snow Note Cards Set of Four

I woke up to a fresh blanket of snow covering the pine forest. After fixing coffee I went about my morning routine; build a fire in the wood stove, feed the dogs, and fill the bird feeder. All the little birds were huddled in the snowy boughs waiting for me to hurry up. There were lots of mountain chickadees, nuthatches, and stellers jays. One little chickadee reminded me of a holiday ornament he was so puffed up and round, so I had to snap a photo. Then I thought he would make a very cute holiday note card for sending those thank you notes. So I got busy designing and here is the end result. Hope you like him!

Friday Favorites - Butterflies

The Genesis of the Butterfly

The dawn is smiling on the dew that covers
The tearful roses; lo, the little lovers
That kiss the buds, and all the flutterings
In jasmine bloom, and privet, of white wings,
That go and come, and fly, and peep and hide,
With muffled music, murmured far and wide.
Ah, the Spring time, when we think of all the lays
That dreamy lovers send to dreamy mays,
Of the fond hearts within a billet bound,
Of all the soft silk paper that pens wound,
The messages of love that mortals write
Filled with intoxication of delight,
Written in April and before the May time
Shredded and flown, playthings for the wind's playtime,
We dream that all white butterflies above,
Who seek through clouds or waters souls to love,
And leave their lady mistress in despair,
To flit to flowers, as kinder and more fair,
Are but torn love-letters, that through the skies
Flutter, and float, and change to butterflies
