Why So Many --

-- greeting card covers?

Because a small local -- yet very lively -- museum, Monmouth Museum --

 http://monmouthmuseum.org/

-- is now carrying my STENCILGIRL(TM) stencils.   I'm making greeting cards to sell in their gift-shop, alongside the stencils, as a way of showing gift-shop browsers just a fraction of the ways in which stencils can be used in art-making.  Before wrapping these cards and sending them on their merry way, I'm scanning them so I can trot them out, here ...

 The above greeting card cover is a collage starring a cut-out from a Gelli Plate print that used my 6"X6" Seaweed stencil on a substrate of Asian  newsprint previously dry-brushed with acrylics.  This stencil is available here:  http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/product-p/s099.htm
