Business Card Holder

Dragon Eye Business Card Holder

When I tell people that I am an artist they ask, "Oh? Do you paint?" I smile and then say "Yes, but It's more than just painting..I am not a painter like what you would think of, canvases and such. I make things...like wands...." Then they usually look at me with a confused look. So I have been trying to think of ways to carry some of my creations with me besides pulling out a magic wand.

I had a really cool business card holder that I found thrifting but it is old and started falling apart so I thought it was time to get a new one. I found this one and thought it would be a great way to show off some of my work while handing out cards.

It has a nice flat base to work with so it was perfect for what I had in mind.

I think it is actually a cigarette holder which makes it even better than a business card holder for the fact that it can hold more cards than a regular card holder!

If you are following me then you know my style is Fantasy, Folklore, Fairies, Elves, Mermaids, Wizards and Dragons...So what to put on the cover was just so obvious for me I didn't even have to think about it.

A Dragon Eye! Inspired by my Dragon Eye Necklace, wand and books.

Now when someone asks me what kind of artist I am I can pull out my business card holder and show them a sample of my work :)

I am not the only one

My son told me today that I am unique and not all people are as creative and ambitious as I am.

I forget that.

It's good to have a reminder every now and then. Some people relax by watching T.V., reading, sleeping or playing games.

I create.

I love the feeling of bringing my thoughts to life.  Seeing the beauty as the work is in progress. There is something magical about holding the finished product in my hand. Not everyone feels that way but I do.

I can not but create.

Thinking of my friends and family I realize that my father is the same way, for the most part, but on a different scale. For me it's fanciful things like Dragons, Mermaids and Fairies. I make things that I decorate with, wear or give to friends.

He builds.

Using tools and machines that I can't even figure out how to turn on he can make them do things I didn't know was possible. He built the house I lived in as a child with secret rooms and a waterfall, tennis courts and game rooms with arches of rock that look like they belong in a castle.

He makes magic in his own way.

So, when my child gives me a reminder that I am different and not everyone is like me, I smile knowing I'm not the only one.

And that is okay.
