One day my brilliant partner and muse came up with the suggestion of actually creating blank greeting cards with some of my artwork. Thought about it and thought about it and took it to heart and figured, why the hell not!
So, with a few designs, a few estimations and a bit of testing. I think I finally have things down to the basics to try this out! They are going to be wide and varied sources, probably mostly nature and fantasy, with a bit of fan art if the moment is right. There will also be some UU cards as well seeing as there seems to be a large lacking of cards for the church out there. And while I may not be part of the church, I would like to give something to them in the form of some art and cards that aren't out there for them.
The cards will start out as blank cards, the only text, if any will be on the outside of the card and part of the art work. Further down the like I'd like to incorporate text into the inside but that's going to be a little while coming.
The estimated 250 dollars is the cost covering 400 cards to start out, ink for my poor, poor printer which is running excruciatingly low, shipping and product packaging. If I raise more then it also goes to a printer that will be strictly for printing cards only. If I get even more then I can branch out into cards with pre-colored edging! Which to me is very exciting!
The cards are the typical 5" x 6 7-8" and come with envelopes. Fluorescent White or Ivory. I can work with the announcement sized cards as well which are 3 1/2" x 4 7/8". The paper is a very nice, rigid, 80lb paper that has a wonderful feel to it. I've run several test prints and the colors are amazing.
So, please look into it and if you don't donate at least pass the link on! It would be a great help!
gofundme! Please!
A little place to add a bit of what my inspiration throws out. Little sketches and bits here and there.

Air Mother
Wind Mother
The Wind Mother is one that doesn’t seem to quit
talking. She is the hub of communication
and always aware of everything and everyone around her. She seems to know everything that’s going on
whether she’s seen it herself or knows of it somehow that people aren’t quite
sure of.
She’s the essence of purity of the spirit. Of wisdom.
Of intuition. When talking to the Wind Mother all your cares seem to
flow away. She seems to know exactly
what to say to easy your worries and fears.
She knows if you hold onto the negative that it can bring you much
unhappiness and weigh your soul down. So
speaking to her is like a breath of fresh air and allows you to understand what
you’ve been missing. The bigger picture
and not just the details that often hide what’s there.
Though she is a care free type Mother you have to be wary of
the Wind Mother. She can be as light and
carefree one second and then as violent as a tornado the next and then in the
next second as sweet as can be again. So
be careful what you say or even do. They
know and will tell you exactly how they feel about it.
In essence, be wary of the Wind Mother. While she’s intuitive she can be flighty. While she’s good at communicating she can
easily stick her foot in it and mess a few things up but easily fix them. But she is one of the only Mother’s to be
very flexible.

Water Mother
Water Mother
The Water Mother is the essence of purity and
fertility. She works well with the
Mother of Earth because they often share the common traits of wisdom, life,
transformation. But one has to watch the Water Mother for she
is the embodiment of emotion, empathy, intuitiveness, and the seat of the
nurturing of the elements. Her
imagination has no comparison seeing as, even though she’s a nurturing element,
piss her off and she can be just as negatively moody and cold.
The Water Mother is able to find the balance in her home
life and work, between nurturing her family and her friends she’s able to be
fulfilled in her knowledge that she’s able to help so many. Her
still waters comfort those around her and with that also connect us with a
deeper connection.
The Water Mother can be one though that has many
tempers. Warm and inviting when sick,
allowing you to breathe easier.
Nurturing and quenching when you need that relief that only water can
provide. Chilling and slightly
terrifying when angered, so much so they could destroy something or someone
with words or actions alone.
Stay well on this Mother’s good side, for if you do,
cookies, cuddles, and comfort is a bound.
Anger her and you will regret it with every fiber of your being.

Earth Mother
Earth Mother
The Mother of Earth is the essence of stability. The foundation of life, wisdom and knowledge,
she is the keeper of the circle of life and death. Nurturing she raises the seedlings and the
young till they reach adult hood and when their lives are at an end she
releases that which she raised back to the beginning to nurture the new
generation.
If you know someone of the earth element they’ll be a
nurturer. They are steady and reliable
and will try to give all they have in nurturing the future.
Though like the element they are made of they are quiet in
that aspect they’re always watching and learning and will speak up when
disturbed. And though they may seem
calm, cool and collected on the outside, when angered they can erupt like a
volcano. So where they are the
foundation of calm, they are a broiling powerhouse of emotion below the
surface.
Never underestimate an Earth Mother. They will prove you wrong every step of the
way because they are so in tune with their surroundings.

The first care of my Oracle deck that I'm trying to work finishing. So far I've been working slowly through the meanings of the cards. I'm halfway through I believe. So expect more of these from my tumblr of the same name as this blog. And please, feel free to leave comments! I'd love to read them!

Something Old
So, not a lot new for me to post. I didn't get one job I was interviewed for but that's not a huge shocker there. I expected it. Thanks to anyone who was hoping for me to get it. I really appreciate it.
Anyway, a bit of art here and there was done. I admit, I read fanfiction and enjoy a good bit of it. I found one on DeviantArt by chance that I found interesting and started doing fan art for. I couldn't help but be inspired. So I got two done and a lot of people have liked it. It boosted my mood a bit so I'm ok with not getting a job.
Now, onto something old. A comic that I just find amusing. It was for a project for class I had and the theme was Apocalypse. I chose Random Bunny because he's just so much fun to draw. By far he and Tea are my favorite characters.
Anyway..... RB loves to rant and he is perfect for it. And when the apocalypse failed his swearing was just fun to come up with!

Yes, be amazed at my poor comic style/coloring. But it's mine so nyah!
