A Beautiful Holiday Season

A Beautiful Holiday Season

I think of my cards as miniature collages - papers, rubber stamps, and pieces of ribbon or string.
They started as a fluke some years ago when the Christmas cards that we were to send out for our clients arrived with my business partner’s name misspelled. We had a whole stack of pre-printed envelopes and it was too late to send out Christmas cards, so we decided to send out Chinese New Years cards in January 2002. The cards were a big hit and the tradition continued until my business partner retired last year. I no longer do the Chinese New Years cards but I sometimes produce New Years cards and also do limited editions of 20-30 handmade cards about 6 times a year, for all of the major holidays.
