Handmade Cards and Prints from the Scottish Highlands

This is a range of designs I put up initially in the Summer 2007 in a competition to name them, which was run as part of the SS2BM online promotion.

Representing The Elements, these are all hand finished and signed by the artist.

All cards are supplied with envelopes, ready for you to send, and are shipped in board backed envelopes to protect them in transit.

These cards are now available on ebid.net

A design based on a Japanese embroidered representation of roses.

I thought it very appropriate for a Thank You card.

Like many of the other cards produced by 0ctavias0fferings, this card is hand finished with metallic inks and signed.

Poor old frog has his eye on that fly but can never catch it.

Another card which is finished in metallic inks.

The card is signed by the artist who created it and, as with all other cards, is blank inside for your own message.

This card is based on a photograph taken of one of my daughters.

The original photo was taken against a hazy sunset at the end of a beautiful Summer's day beside the Loch.

Hand finished and signed

This is one of a pair of cards, based on an old Chinese cut paper design I found over 25 years ago.

Hand finished with metallic inks and signed by the artist.

The pair to it is in the module following this one.

Please remember, all card designs are available as A4 prints - although the size of the image within the A4 sheet will vary according to the design.

For more information please contact me through Squidoo or one of the sites on which I sell.

And here is the pair to Sails in Moonlight, based, again, on the old Chinese cut paper design I found.

I love the cut paper designs from China. They are usually produced in very fine paper and are red, this being the lucky colour, and are used to decorate homes for special occasions and holiday festivals, often decorating windows in homes.

Hand finished with metallic inks and signed by the artist.

A striking dragon design.

Here we have the Eagles.

First, Regal Eagle with his beautiful purple and gold.

Below is Blue Eagle.

Both are hand finished and signed by the artist.

If you would like to see a different colour, I can always see what I can do.

Poetry cards may not be to everyone's taste but can help to express a sentiment.

Hand finished and signed by the creator of the card, this is Whisper.

All cards are blank inside for your own message.

The verse on the front reads ...

I whisper your name
in Indian clouds to the sky.

Showers of satin light
wash moonwards.

The stars answer me
distant through my senses
echoing
and your arms close.

Night cocoons me
gently.

The poem on this card is printed in full at the top of my Poetry is a Performance Art lens.

Available as an A4 print, hand finished and signed by the artist / poet, the print has slightly different dimensions to the card.

As a card, this is also hand finished and signed by the artist.

The verse reads ...

Oh! The changes.
Strange how Nature re-arranges
all our lives on Love, a whim,
such bright attractions soon grow dim,
as we all know,
but still we follow Nature's flow,
still seeking an Eternal Truth
that in a state of Love lies Youth
and Youth is Beauty, now, my Lover,
make me Beautiful,
forever.

Go on, you know you want to.
