The Uncivil Times cards are free; the others are $1.00 each + $.25 per envelope & $ for postage, amount depending upon the number of cards ordered. Order via the contact button. Or just browse.

INFORMATION

The Postcard...I like its look & feel ~ flat & simple, quick & easy to use. It offers the challenge of a confined writing space (inspiring the most pithy, to-the-point messages) & gives the feel of something solid to hold in your hand. The postcard is good for quick notes & gift enclosures & is an efficient way to share art & politics. You can whip out a card to re-read or send. It’s yours to keep at your bedside or in plain sight at your desk or table. Consider the postcard’s companions, too: pen, pencil, & eraser. They feel natural & elegant/powerful in the hand. There is a long beautiful, though sometimes tragic, history associated with paper missives. Maybe it’s just a cultural habit, but writing on paper &, most of all, writing on a page that is economical in size & carries good art, feels good. And waiting for the post office to deliver can inspire an emotional & personal response interestng in itself.
