Part of the process to get my cards out there is an attempt to be able to sell the cards wholesale on Etsy. In order to qualify one has to go through a detailed questionnaire about your process, about people who work with you or for you. It also requested to upload illustrative photos. At first I was panicking because the cards had been developed such a long time ago that I thought I could not possibly find any of that info anymore. However...I started digging around in my archives and I was pleasantly surprised how much I have actually found! So here I am sharing some of the behind scenes photos of the card creation...
papers and papers and more papers and card stock and shapes and knife and ruler and vellum and...
initial illustrations and sketches...still long ways to go...
writing and re-writing and again and again...till it is just right...
and here we go - first prototypes are born - and even documented!
