Frames have arrived for APoDOMUS Cards!

Long time pampered idea finally came to life...

All cards in my Etsy shop APoDOMUS can now be framed and become  Framed Piece of Art From the Heart.

You can pick and choose any frame(s) with any card(s)!

I have been searching for a long time to find just the right frames - frames that would curate and feature the cards in a proper and unique way . And I found them! My favorite ones are the Element Frames that can showcase the cards (with a double-sided feature) as like effortlessly floating in space. They come in white oak and black wooden finish. Love them!

The other great frame is this shadow box Chroma frame (above)  for any of the cards that are 3-dimmensional. It comes in black and charcoal wood finish.

And last but not least is the Stratton Frame that features a beautiful slim profile. Comes in white oak and black wood finish.

Very happy about this frame collection. Hope you enjoy as well!

APoDOMUS cards - behind the scenes...

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!
