Have a look at the Purple Lupine collection!

It’s been quite some time since I’ve put together a card collection, but I do have one new one now and I’m planning on doing more.
Have a look at the Purple Lupine collection!

Since 2018 Dan and I have sent out Christmas cards that include an image from each of us. I set it all up, and when I print I do half of the cards with his image on the front and half with mine (he insisted!). I absolutely love putting these together. I’ll bet you can guess who did which image.
Have you sent out your cards yet?
(Excuse the random lines around the cards … I guess I cropped things poorly from Lightroom and I’m feeling somewhat lazy at the moment so I don’t know when I’ll redo things!)

(When printing this card one image has to be upside down in order for them to present correctly, but I figured I’d turn them both right side up so you can see them.)




It’s that time again … the Silicon Valley Open Studios begin. Our area is having them on May 20 and 21, 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. If you are interested in dropping by to see our work, drop me a message with your email address and I will share our home address with you.
Last year was our first time doing this, and while we were still dealing with Covid, we did get some visitors and had a lovely time. Yes, we are still dealing with Covid, but it’s not the same this year and we are much more comfortable having the open house.
Here is my page at SVOS, and click here to see Dan’s.
I’ll have limited edition prints available (some matted and framed in custom frames, some matted only, and some just plain old prints), open edition prints in mats as well as in non-custom frames, and of course some cards. If you really want a particular boxed card set, though, please let me know in advance and I’ll make sure to have them available.
Hope to see some of you here.
A few of the prints I’ll have here (if you clicked through to SVOS this is what you’ll see):

But there will be many more!
Here are some Christmas and Holiday card ideas for you. Each box has 8 different images, but if someone prefers the same image in one box that can be done as well. I have already shared some boxed sets of red, so I’m not reposting those here, but those, too, work well for Christmas. I would love to share newer boxed sets, but I’ve not done things since Covid began (Yes, I’m blaming Covid!). Maybe next year?!
To see other individual cards please visit this page.
