A Fly By - SOLD

A Fly By
Original Watercolor Note cards, Each Handpainted, with A6 Envelopes
Cards are 5 1/2" by 4  1/4"  when folded.
Watercolors overlap onto back slightly.
$20 the set, plus Who Knows...$5 shipping?

Below is how they look when packaged in cellophane sleeves.


So, a bit of an explanation. The note cards are an idea for a possible Etsy shop, for those times when my paintings just aren't selling. Other ideas include gift enclosures, cute little cards with delicate envelopes (not intended for the mail), paper bags with cool bag tags, maybe watercolor earrings....Ideas are free...so exploring along with my cousin and cohort.

What do you guys think?

Available at $40 plus $10 shipping.

OK, I'm tickled with this one. I've always liked the photo reference, which is of a scruffy backyard, patchy grass, dirt showing, nothing special, but with a wonderful blaze of sunlight. I painted it completely directly, with hardly any blending, fussing, or changing. So I get to be tickled with the results.
