Hi, Friends!

I just had something I wrote published in the “Letter to the Editor” section of the Burnett County Sentinel. I highly suggest that you subscribe to them (they cover a variety of local events, politics, and viewpoints), but I am including a link to the page my letter is on in this post. Speaking my truth without apology from here on out.

Oh Hey! I added my new cards to my site. Please take a gander and order away! All cards can be made on demand, so let me know if there are some you want more of. I also will sell in person.
Stayed tuned for my upcoming designs 🙂

Printed out several pictures on matte and glossy paper the other day and then cut them out-
Spent the day today making them into cards and putting them into mats (the mats are in a separate post.)

Earlier in the week, I made my first new “digital design” in a while and printed a prototype of a Christmas card, featuring Stella! Not sure how many to print- any suggestions as to how these would sell, Folks?

I also finally figured out how to print one of my previous designs as a card myself, which is amazing, because I did not want to use a print service at this time.

I have 70 more potential seasonal pictures to choose from to make more prints…😬

My shop is going to be well-stocked, so that means people need to start putting in orders!

Worked on putting some of my photos into mats today! (Had printed them out on matte and glossy paper the other day and cut them.) This is my first time using the black mats and I am definitely digging them!
I also made them into cards, which I will have to share in a separate post.

Hey, look! I created a page for my nifty art items that you can purchase! (Not on Etsy.)

Please visit it, let me know what you think, and share with others!

Poetry, photography & art inspired by Mother & human nature, digitally designed and turned into cards, bookmarks and prints.

Advice?

Haven’t heard this version in a minute, but it still made me cry when I put it on today.
Joni’s music has always been a big influence in my life- her writing and music are immensely inspirational. They have helped me out of some dark times and also helped me process things.
After watching this concert on YouTube last year, I was led to write one of my most precious heart-poems, “Sway.” Including that below. ❤️

Sway

Echoes of melodies
learned as a youth
dance far more lithely
in my mind now
than this
(slightly) aging
body can handle.

Yet it still tries-
Remembering the way
it used to sway
and I now move my hips
to a song
only I can hear.

Oh-
Isn’t that the rub?
Finally unashamed
and less afraid
of what “they” will say

The song has ended.
But then the needle rises-
and drops once again.
I feel my lips curl upward,
my head nodding-
Who needs the radio static
anyway?

Oh, hey. Still have more stuff for sale (and the ability to make more!)

Check out my Etsy shop to see what I can do!

(And don’t forget that I also make cards and can print photos/place them in mats- I am willing to do custom orders on some things!)

Willing to discuss pricing, especially on orders of multiple items. 🙂

Shop Original Framed Poetry & Photography Mixed Media Prints by AmidstFierceFlames located in Grantsburg, Wisconsin.

If anyone would like any of their photos printed and put onto photo mount cards or in plain white mats, let me know and I can give you a quote.
I do still have some greeting cards with my own photos on them, also.
Things are quiet enough right now for me to have a mini-project or two, but once Baby comes, I won’t have as much time.

I still have some bookmarks and prints in mats left, too :)
