Card from deceased family member- art and craft?
I have tons (100) of cards- cards of grievance-
I do not want to throw them away because they were my grandmothers.
Does anyone have any ideas on what kind of arts and crafts I can do with these cards?
Thanks in advance.
With precious cards I frame them.
I search for and buy another card either identical or similar (failing that a card that you love or a card your loved one would have loved.)
Then, with a simple but beautiful frame, I frame side-by-side; the envelope, the closed duplicate card (so the pattern on the front will be displayed) and then the original card opened, so the writing inside is visible once the frame is in place.
I find it very comforting to see the words and beautiful cards of loved ones passed. Attached is a picture of my framing work with one of my cards. In this case, my work is not complete. If I have big spaces in frames, as shown, I fill them with a large, flat-ish dried flower, such as a rose or lily.

In Rainbows $7.58 On the deliriously satisfying In Rainbows, Radiohead returns to a more straight-ahead (though subdued) rock sound. Much hubbub has been made about this record’s innovative release. Radiohead allowed fans to pay what they wished to download fairly low-resolution tracks from the band’s own website. Like so many innovations, it already seems funny both that it was such big news and that someone else … |
