Finderskeepers Handmade Card range

FindersKeepers is a range of handmade cards designed by Jacs using vintage ephemera and the otherwise irritating and useless JunkMail envelopes!

 

 

 

I have many themes available from a lifetime of hoarding old magazines,books and other papery treasures-1950's DIY/Vintage Fashion patterns/Ladybird Books/Famous Five/Jigsaws Puzzles+Games etc etc.......just waiting for you to imagine how I can use them.

 

Wedding Invitations?,Special Birthdays,PartyParty,Moving House,..............get in touch to set me off!

 

 

 

Cards are sold individually at theGALLERY but special designs will have a minimum order value of £100. All of the finderskeepers range are totally handmade using original pages from vintage source. There is a virtually inexhaustible supply of the raw material so I can take wholesale orders on any theme you need.

 

 

 

Please note, I can't reproduce or print without getting tangled in copyright issues so no two cards will ever be exactly the same I can make approx 100 cards to any given theme with a bit of notice. Please contact me as soon as possible for deadline occasions.

One of our card bestsellers, Susie paints in expansive scale, beautiful atmospheric landscapes with a wonderful soft rendering of light and sense of place. She lives and works in Aberdeenshire-so although we would love to show her work in the GALLERY the expense of shipping her larger paintings (some of them up to 4metres wide) not to mention finding enough wall space-is, for the moment, prohibitive.

Diana Milstein paints pictures from the life of Miss Smith: an ordinary woman whose mundane life is transformed after she is touched by an angel in a chance encounter at a bus stop. the GALLERY stocks cards from a selection of the x70 plus images which chart Miss Smiths many adventures including hugging trees, “meeting the stones” and “mowing her own crop circles”. She has also developed a passion for the Arts and is shown as Warhol might paint her, ”absorbed by Rothko” and “doing a shift for A Gormley” A book of x22 Postcards is also available. You cannot fail to be charmed and inspired by Miss Smith who shows us all a way to find magic in the mundane.
