Sacred Reindeer
I created this design after reading about the possible shamanic origins of the flying reindeer/Santa Claus story from Scandinavia's Sami people. Watch this fascinating short video from the BBC:

Slow and Gentle Drifts
 Snowy Owl in the Birch Forest
Pineapple of Hospitality
This card is inspired by the fruit sculptures that are displayed above front doors as a sign of welcome in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia:

Adorned Boughs

Saint Lucia's Light
This card draws from the Scandinavian tradition of Saint Lucia's festival. A young girl wearing a long white robe and wreath of evergreen boughs lit with candles represents the return of light at the darkest time of year.

Thanks for visiting~ Wishing you a bright and beautiful holiday season. Please contact me with any questions or comments.

New Card Designs! 


Greetings~ I just finished four new card designs and I'm excited to share them with you.
It's a Small World Terrarium

After seeing a beautiful hand-blown glass terrarium at Park Chow in San Francisco I was inspired to create my own paper version with bright orchids and little gold mushrooms. 

For this series of cards I created hand-painted background paper to add a layer of depth and texture.
Joy Cupcake on Jadeite Stand

Nestled on a Jadeite cake stand, this raspberry-filled chocolate cupcake dons a festive little banner proclaiming "Joy!" 
Cup of Joy

A modern take on a traditional Jadeite tea cup, this card is perfect to share your sentiments of care and joy. Matcha anyone? 
Highway 1 Hawk

Every few months I drive from Marin down to Santa Cruz to visit my grandma, and along the way I usually spot hawks perched on telephone poles, electric lines, and circling over open fields. Their majestic form always gives me a thrill, and I wanted to honor them with a card~ Rolling hills, sea and sky.

Cards are $6 each or any 4 for $20. Please email me to order. Dreamspeakdesign(at)gmail(dot)com  Cards are also available at Good Earth Natural Foods in Fairfax.
