I started doing LTCs & Artist Trading Cards in August of 2008.

I hand carve rubber stamps and some of my cards will use images from those. I am a beginner in watercolor arts and some other media. All of my cards are handmade. They are not "prints".
My original watercolors are here at Art In Hand.

Oceanna's Blessing

Oceanna's Blessing was created with an original, hand carved stamp that I carved more than two years ago in February of 2006. Watercolor & archival inks create the image which is then cut and mounted in a collage style.

This is very limited in edition. Only six were made and all "originals". A few are gifts to friends and/or kept in private collections. Only two will be offered to the general public.

They are signed on the artwork on front and again on the back where the card's edition number and info is also listed along with my "signature stamp".

The media and techniques used are stamping, ink, watercolor and paper crafting/collage.

I hope you like Oceanna's Blessing.

Eat Crow


To eat crow implies, at its mildest, an unpleasant action since the flesh of the crow is believed to be unpalatable.
As an expression, it denotes the anguish of humiliation at having to admit to wrongdoing or fallability, usually in the wake of hubristic actions or words.

to publicly admit you were wrong about something

to suffer a humiliating experience

Have you ever had to eat crow?

Dixie Lands


"My Home and Lands are where My People Lay Dead and Buried"

This is my very first Art Card or LTC.
The stamp image is from one of early carvings and my original "signature stamp".
I love graveyards & genealogy... ghosts & folklore.
My home is where my people are and have been.
These Mountains and their stories are mine just as I am theirs.
