Handmade gratitude

My first posts here were about my struggles and triumphs working on my first aceo collection. These cards became highly layered and i had some creative fears as to covering up areas, feeling too attached and becoming over-precious about outcomes. Which is of course an attitude that kills art production. So i pushed forward, photographing stages so i could still "have" the various layers before i painted or covered up details that weren't working with the whole.
Anyway, after all that work, i was heartened when many of these little cards sold. I always wondered how artist cards are/would be displayed. I had heard people keep them in sleeves like baseball cards. So i was intrigued when Amy from Bumblebelly Designs bought two cards and then convo-ed that she was using my cards to create an "Etsy inspiration board". I wondered what her project would look like.
This week i received another Etsy e-mail inviting me to view said inpiration board on her wonderful blog. It is so sensitively put together. The juxtaposition of the different subtly-colored cards makes each little card more beautiful. The whole is greater than the parts.
