ABOUT MY CARDS...

MY ARTWORK BEGINS in my home studio in rural Wisconsin. Inspiration comes from the world that surrounds me, from my own observations and imagination. Colored pencil is my primary medium, sometimes combined with water media.

SOLAR POWER generates the scanner and printer located in La Farge, Wisconsin that captures my images and prints them onto high quality water color paper. Each card is carefully hand trimmed.

THE ENVELOPES that I use are comprised of recycled paper using a minimum of 30% post consumer fiber powered by 100% green electricity. Envelopes are purchased from a paper company located in Neenah, Wisconsin.

THE BIO-BAGS that keep the cards crisp and clean are compost-able and are made from plants.

If you should you choose to make a purchase you can do so knowing that you are supporting an artisan who works hard to create an earth friendly product that truly is

MADE RIGHT HERE IN WISCONSIN!

A Rural Alphabet is still a work in progress. Not all images that I have scanned are available yet. Hopefully they will be available very soon!

Note cards retail price: $2.50 per card

Card fits an A2 size envelope, 5 6/8" tall X 4 3/8" wide

Wholesale prices are available

Facing Forward by Kathleen Ernst www.kathleenernst.com

In the old world, Emil muttered prayers over trenchers of lutefisk, peered at the sky and sniffed the air to decide when to plant potatoes, counted coins before Rila shopped. She tended her hearth as she'd been raised to do, an endless chain of chores, and raw-fingered women doing them.

In the old world, when the hungry time came, rye crop blackened with rust, children wimpering, empty bellies and purses. Emil said We will go. Rilla wept to leave her mother and sisters, lefse and cod, smoke-stained village, mossy gravestones, all she knew.

In the new world, walking west, Rilla bore weight: an unborn child in front, the toddler on her hip, worry. When the oxen foundered she knotted her mother's kale seeds and candlesticks into the shawl tied over one shoulder; and hefted the rifle too.

But in the new world Rilla walked with a step lighter than heels rubbed raw, feet on fire, muscles' ache, sunburned skin. She walked toward the prairie, the unexpected promise of possibility, new grace in her heart, a life not defined before her wedding day,

while Emil trudged behind, dragging an anvil of gnawing doubt and fear, missing his father, looking over his shoulder; but looking forward, too, toward the woman he once knew, wondering what he'd lost, and how she'd come to find it.

Last year I entered an art show called Mark my Words. I was fortunate to be assigned this wonderful poem by Kathleen Ernst to illustrate. If you would like to learn more about Kathleen's writing, please look at her web page: www.kathleenernst.com
