Porcelina

My friend Louisa got a card for her birthday that was soooo nice. She has it on a ledge behind her computer so she can see it all day. What a smart girl! To surround yourself with beautiful things is one of life's greatest pleasures. Anyway I drift of topic. This card, I can describe it for you, but it was so nice that I looked up the artist. And so I found the actual picture.


The card Louisa got for her birthday


It is a print from the Porcelina series and it is made by Stephen Mackey. When you visit his site you can get linked through to his Buy Stephen Mackey site where you will find plenty of other goreous prints like the ones below.


Another one of the cards I liked


They also do prints in different sizes. Many of them have fairies on them and are fantastic for childrens rooms, etc. I am seriously thinking of buying the one with the deer on it. It is 12 x 16 inch (approx. 30 x 40 cm). So nice!


Deer, moon and Stars. What more could you wish for?


And finally I'd like to point out the original Christmas cards that are for sale. I love the whole eskimo girl idea. It's all very understated, but that is the beauty of it. There's a calm and tranquil sort of beauty in these pictures.

I love them too, they are so delicate and dreamlike. I can stare at my card and forget that I'm at work and ream about flying fish ...good for productivity too :)
