This scene was inspired by my great- grandmother's backyard pond in the swamp. Neighbors would put $2 dollars cash in her mailbox (on the honor system) to launch their canoes out to fish. I reckon with inflation that $2 is a closer to the $12 this card now costs.

Each card is hand printed on 100% recycled card stock. Blank with envelope.

A little about the artist Rebecca Cristante (myself):

Growing up in a rural town in south Georgia gave me an ample first hand education of the natural world. In college I immersed myself in religious studies and ecology, fortifying my foundation of respect for the unseen connections of everything in us, and around us, which is often the theme of my work. I started focusing primarily on printmaking full time in 2010, when my first son was born. While printing has become my day job, I spend as many evenings and weekends as I can in books and paintings, some my own, some someone else’s. I make my prints the old fashioned way, with hand drawn sketches and hand carved blocks and fragrant ink. It is truly an honor and a dream come true each time I address an envelope to send my art to you.
