Winter solstice 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  photograph I used to create this art piece is printed on the back of the card with the photo location. Interior of the card is blank or choose from the options below. The paper is super smooth, not slick, and takes gel, ballpoint, and other inks well. This card is a nice contemplation piece for winter, as it carries the promise of a return to shorter nights and sunnier days. Definitely welcome by anyone who actively celebrates Winter Solstice or Imbolc. The card and envelope are packaged together in a plastic sleeve and mailed in a stiffened mailer. Note: orders of one or two cards are shipped USPS First Class without tracking. Larger orders are shipped via the most economical means, which usually, but not always, includes tracking.

Interior Message Choices: Blank, Returning Light Blessing, Happy Solstice, Blessed Solstice, Blessed Imbolc.

Framing. This winter solstice 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.

About the Art. I created this mandala, titled The Promise, for a winter solstice art exhibition in December of 2019. As you no doubt know, especially if you live far north in the Northern Hemisphere or far south in the Southern, winter solstice marks the longest night of the year. It’s a time when the shadows stretch, the weather gets frosty, and the return of summer seems an impossibility. But the light always comes back. The long days of summer return. In fact, in the moment after the solstice, summer is already on its way. That’s the promise fulfilled.
