Camp at Sunset Note Card
More Note Cards
More Courage
Artist Jim Brandenburg is famous for his stunning photographs that capture the beauty and magic of the natural world. He is one of the premier wildlife photographers in the world, and a dedicated environmentalist. He has won numerous international awards for his work.
Jim derives intense satisfaction from his life-long commitment to explore and understand the wilderness. Sharing his love for the natural world and telling its stories are what motivates him during his long treks in the wilderness.
The silence of the woods echoes the so thoughtful sentiment from Henry David Thoreau:
I went into the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
Each 5 by 7 inch card is letter-press printed on a textured 100% recycled paper with soy based inks, and is accompanied by an envelope for mailing.

VooDooBaby™ Heighwei Rob
More VoodooBabies™ & Other Art Dolls
Don't have the guts to take the next step? Heighwei Rob never worries too much about outcome. He follows his heart and runs for it! Let him give you courage! Rob measures 2-1/2 inches high and about 1-1/2 inch wide.
Each VooDoo Baby is hand-writhed from a single string of cotton thread. Amazingly, there is no wire inside the doll to support the structure. The creation of each VooDooBaby takes not only excellent artisanship, but also a great deal of attention, patience and care. They are an expression of imagination, creativity and appreciation and are not for real and possess no curse effect whatsoever - but wouldn't it be nice if they could?

If you're not happy with the way things are, you can make a difference! That's the message from renowned anthropologist, Margaret Mead, on this wonderful art postcard designed in the tradition of 1960s posters. The illustration and calligraphy by Jody Richards certainly highlight Mead's sentiment:
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has.

Saint Agatha Medal - Patron Saint of Breast Cancer
Pink Crystal Awareness Charm
Saint Agatha was a young, beautiful and rich woman who devoted her life to God. Before she was martyred around 250 AD, she was sent by the cruel rulers to work in a brothel where she refused to accept customers.
She was punished severely and her torturers were so evil that they focused their torture on her breasts and made her roll on hot coals. Because of her terrifying sacrifice, she has become the Patron of those who suffer breast cancer.
Our medal is made of silvery metal in Italy.

be who You will Note Card
Illustrator dug Nap is famous for his bold style evoking a contemporary burst of living out loud fun! Admittedly slightly twisted, dug creates cards with humorous sayings and renders them with a beautiful, painterly technique. His brushstrokes are worthy of his 16th century muse Lucas Cranach (for whom he named is cat), dug's work is artistically sophisticated and then just plain fun!
On the outside, he declares:
be who You will
The inside is blank for your own message - perfect for a special friend, or someone on the brink of something new!
dug's cards are printed on coated recycled paper with soy-based inks and measure 5 by 7 inches. Of course, an envelope accompanies the card.

Enamel Red Cloud Pendant
More Pendants & Necklaces
More Native American Indian Items
Red Cloud, known to the Lakota People as Makhpiya Luta was born in 1822. As a war leader of the Native American Indian Tribe of the Oglala Lakota Sioux Nation, he was one of the most capable world leaders of the 19th Century. Until his death in 1909, he continued to lead his people even in reservation life. Red Cloud rejected leasing land to the US Government and remains highly respected because of his conviction and honesty.
This elegant greytone Portrait Pendant of Red Cloud measures 7/8 inch wide by 1-1/4 inch long. Made of vitreous enamel, each pendant is assembled by hand, so please allow for some variability.
Equally stunning as jewelry or as an art element in a shrine or assemblage, this unique piece is conservatively priced for such elegant craftsmanship.

Handmade Pendant - Dare to be Real
Frida Collage Pendant
For those who have the courage to express themselves and, as well, for those who don't, we love this gloriously blue pendant featuring a super individual with a gothic face, a boom-box playing the music of a different drummer. Only the hand and face are showing. The background of vintage letters and numbers adds a suitably philosophical air to this striking image.
The artist has added the sentiment:
Dare to be Real
The pendant measures 1 by 1-1/2 inches. We are enthralled with Blanca Lee's artwork, and we are sure you will be as well.

Note Card: Imagining World
Artist/philosopher Brian Andreas has created the Story People®. And, we are totally enamoured by his works. His voice, be it in verse or by brush, is pleasantly right on the mark:
In my dream, the angel shrugged & said, If we fail this time, it will be a failure of imagination & then she placed the world gently in the palm of my hand.
The card is blank inside.

Handmade sterling silver anima Sola pendant
This striking pendant of Anima Sola (Solitary Soul) is artisan made with a sterling sliver setting. Each is a bit different as they are handmade and background colors vary. The central figure is accented by a montage of real flowers and glittery sequins. It is truly special!
The Anima Sola evokes a spirit of freedom from oppression. Because the main figure is a woman, the image has become an emblem of woman changing her destiny, much like the goddess charms and pendants that are so popular today.
The Mexican Loteria Game often includes a card representing Anima Sola, as she has become an integral part of the Latin Folk Religions. But her appeal transcends the initial religious significance.

Die Cut Ché Guevara Flexible Greeting Card
He has come to represent revolution and love of people. Ché never meant to become an icon, but when he gave up his life of privilege, he started on his road to inspirational reform. Each card comes with a sticker sheet filled with traditional messages like Happy Birthday and Thank You, but more exciting are the additional sticker quotes attributed to Ché himself, such as:
Honest Disagreement is often a sign of Progress
The true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love.
