About this Product
The three goddesses generally accepted as the Graces represented grace, charm and beauty also had other qualities that they were associated with:
Aglaia represented elegance, brightness and splendor
Thalia represented youth, beauty and good cheer
Euphrosyne represented mirth and or joyfulness
The Graces brought joy and goodwill to both gods and mortals. Like the Nine Muses, they were believed to endow artists and poets with the ability to create beautiful works of art. According to the traditions and beliefs of the Ancient Greeks, people would invoke the aid of the Graces to guide and assist them in their art, musical compositions, work, songs and dance. The invocation took the form of a prayer for divine inspiration from the goddesses.
In addition to the Greek goddess Graces, this card features a butterfly bat and a lovely orangutan, amused with a butterfly. Grace is everywhere.
This card is blank inside. Perfect for every occasion. Comes with a blank envelope. Collage by Alyssum Pohl

Welcome to my new shop!
Meet the Maker
Inspiration for my creations comes from wanting to use and re-use things that would otherwise end up in a landfill. Seeing beauty and highlighting that in my art is a manifestation of my worldview: we can all do our part to make the world a better place. Sometimes my ideas come to me in dreams, a lot of the time, my ideas come to me through working with the materials--they direct me.
I used to make art and jewelry as a part-time job in my 'free time' outside of my wage-work. Since becoming chronically ill, I make things as a way to celebrate the scant energy I occasionally have for being creative. I am mostly housebound, often bed bound, and your support helps me feel like I'm still a part of the world at large.
How it’s Made
My greeting cards are digital collages that I make from (mostly) antique images. Some of them are images I see in dreams.
Shop Policies
Processing Time: I do my best to get items in the mail within 2 business days. As someone with complex chronic illness, however, it may take longer if I'm in a flare.
Return Policy: I do not accept returns.
Care Instructions: As with any jewelry, the easier you treat it, the longer it will last. The double-sided pendants are not water proof. The tin earrings are water proof, although some of the older tins may rust as they have a higher iron content (I think this patina only adds to their charm).
Shipping Within The US Only: If you live elsewhere, please contact me and I'll set up shipping with you. I can not ship to Italy unfortunately.
FAQ's: LMK if you have Qs and I'll start making an FAQ section :)
