So here I finally am, after much prompting and prodding from my husband Eliot. I have dug my heels and resisted long enough. I do have to say it's a bit intimidating for me to either write or draw knowing that many or anyone can see! Not to say that I do not enjoy it, on the contrary! But I usually write/draw for a person, or more "privately." So through this adventure I have learned and continue to learn to draw/create more openly, realizing that anyone can see and critique my work.

I am the "artist" behind the cards," if i can so call myself that. So I'd like to introduce myself to those who do not know me, and for those who do can smile and say, "yep, that's Angela!" As Eliot had written in the "about us" page, I have gladly yet admittedly hesitantly embraced this new adventure of the card business. Again more because I am shy/embarrassed about my work I know I have to learn to be able to work more regularly/consistently on creating the cards. Typically when I have made cards for friends/family it has been more "random" in the sense that I usually rely upon some kind of "inspiration" or internal "bell" if you will to go off. My drawings are not so much a process in that I see it coming together in stages but rather it just comes and I see it, the big picture in my mind and I draw in hopes of creating what I have envisioned. Usually these pictures come on not so scheduled times which I know must somewhat frustrate my husband who says, "is it time to draw yet?!' (hahaha) I must patiently wait until finally "aha!"

I hope to continue to blog my journey along with my husband as we learn about business and working together. I like to tell Eliot that i am only the artist!
