About This Blog
How A Daily Card Came To Be:
-a friend gave me a box of cards and gingerly told me to "do something with them."
-a woman's gleeful and very appreciative response to one of my handmade business cards while I was vending at a holiday bazaar
-a newpaper article on homelessness - which in turn caused the desire to create a street art project.
-all of these events added up to this blog
A Daily Card Will Have 2 components To It:
Part a): I will be creating daily greeting cards for those who have a hearty love for cards and art.
Part b): will be A Daily Card Street Art Project where I will be creating mixed media art pieces on a deck of playing cards that will be distributed on the streets of Portland - in restaurants, on park benches, at bus stops, hanging from trees, in nooks of buildings - anywhere I find an interesting not-so-hidden-hiding spot to distribute them.
My Hope For This Blog/Project:
-I hope you enjoy these greeting cards and share them with loved ones.
-I hope you cherish them for years to come as a piece of framed artwork.
-I also hope that those who find the playing cards on the streets receive some joy, inspiration and anything positive, as the woman who so enjoyed receiving my business card.
Thank you for looking!
