she should get paid for this

My mom makes the most incredible greeting cards. And wedding invitations. And wedding gifts. And calligraphy-based art. Seriously--she's professional (and far too modest).

Here is my Valentine's/Chinese New year "card"--totally frame-able.

The front, hand-cut flowers and vase


The second page (it's the Chinese Year of the Tiger, in case you didn't know)


Third page. The little yoga-girl in "tiger pose" is hand-cut from gold paper


The last page (with my Dad's contribution) showing the US Postal Service's Lunar New Year stamps


Seriously. This woman needs an Etsy page. Consider this a petition--sign it (leave a comment) and let's see if we can get her in business!

Love you, Mom!

I must take this opportunity to validate what you said Elly. As a recipient of some of your mom's handiwork I must wholeheartedly agree! Naomi is fabulous (on so many levels actually ut we will stick to card making talents)! In light of that count my vote!

I'm signing the petition! I'm trying so hard to get her to quit her day job. But ugh! I love this post, it's fun to see you enjoying her art creations all the way over there :) -Maria
