I don’t know why anyone would ever buy or send an ordinary store bought card ever again. Ok, so it is probably just me, but I see so many potential exciting and unique things with which to create interesting and quite recyclable green greetings. Pretty sure Hallmark will not wish for many of you to read any further. I call my newest Art Card Line “Green Inspirations by Tamara.” The Art Work also doubles as a "special present." Gives new meaning to "Gift Card". LOL. And with no expiration date to worry about.
It all started with my pursuit of thinking about what I could do with all those really pretty paint chips that I am so attracted to and which accumulated when I was trying to decide on a color scheme. Well, I simply couldn’t toss them out. I am enchanted by all the vibrant colors. And some were sooo shimmery while others were textured.
Then one day, all of a sudden, and out of nowhere, the idea came to me. Voila, another ephiphany. Fun, colorful, and fairly easy to make cards! And a great project for children.
I try to pay attention to the important things during the workday. Really I do. Focus, focus, focus. But sometimes I feel like a flitting butterfly going from one flower to the next and and then simply back to the last one. How many times have I watched them do that and wonder when will they ever learn? Why do they leave the flower in the first place, only to go back to the same one and try again?
Ok, so I am pretty sure that I know that I am not a butterfly. But I am also on a quest. Here’s what I’m really thinking about most of the time. What’s my next quirky art project gonna be? My latest thing is simply looking for items to stash in what I am calling my “found box”. Sparkly things always catch my eye. Yes, I know all that glitters is not gold except it is in the art and craft supply world. I have no idea what I am going to do with this junk treasure. It’s just another way for me to escape for a while and an interesting way to wonder through this universe… keeping your eyes always peeled for a hidden find or an inspirational trinket.
