Fireflies and Memory art card with fireflies and a mysterious butterfly is printed 5.25″ by 5.25″, a nice little size for giving, framing, or meditation. Includes envelope and free shipping. This art piece carries the misty memories of childhoods spent in magical places that have faded away.

Fireflies and Memory art card is digitally printed using archival pigment inks on silky, bright white, acid-free paper. Folded card is 5.25" by 5.25" and comes with a beautifully made, bright white envelope. The drumstick allium photograph I used to create the background for this art piece is printed on the back of the card with the photo location. Interior of the card is blank and the paper is super smooth, not slick, and takes gel, ballpoint, and other inks well. This card carries misty memories of a childhood spent watching fireflies rise on my grandfather's farm in southeastern Ohio. It's both celebration and lament, as described in my post introducing this piece. The card and envelope are packaged together in a plastic sleeve and mailed in a stiffened mailer.

Framing. This art card is created using high-quality materials, such as might be used in a museum. The print is sharp, bright, and frameable. To protect the vibrancy of the artwork, I frame using UV glass or acrylic, and I recommend it. If you use plain glass or acrylic, make sure you hang this sweet, little piece and all your beautiful art away from direct sunlight.

Postage. Because irregularly shaped mail, like this square card, must be canceled by hand, the U.S. Postal Service requires extra postage to deliver them. Special "butterfly stamps" carry the exact right postage to mail your bee card within the U.S. If you would like me to stamp the envelope with a butterfly stamp so it's ready for you to mail, please choose that option from the menu.

About the Art. This art piece was inspired by an extraordinary flush of fireflies on my property, Yellow Bird's Rest, during the summer of 2022. Fireflies rose from the ground and my garden in the thousands, dancing up into the trees from late June all the way through to early August, when the evening temperatures cooled and the show finally blinked out. You can read more about the emotions expressed in this piece in my post introducing it.

Linda Gribko is an avid gardener, naturalist, author, artist, and photographer living just outside Morgantown, West Virginia, on a one-acre property she calls Yellow Bird's Rest. She's been gardening since the age of three, when she was put to work plucking rocks from the family vegetable patch, and was gifted her first growlight set-up at the age of eight. Linda is best known for her wildflower photography and the digital mandala art she creates from her nature photos, but is also a mixed media artist and published author. Her quirky first novel, "Giving Voice to Dawn", was published in November 2016 and was followed up with "The Lion's Apprentice" in June 2020. The series follows the magical romp of a woman plucked by the Universe from the cubicles of Corporate America and dropped into the crease between "this world and that" where Spirit Animals carry messages, disembodied voices spout wisdom, and you never know who might show up to walk you back home.
