Big bear stationary in the house!

We found these hand-made cards at a local sandwich shop and thought they would make fun thank-you cards for Ursa Major.

('Ursa Major' means 'Big Bear' in Latin and refers to the constellation with the Big Dipper in it, in case you're wondering what the connection is).

Each card is a little different, made using local 'wild-crafted' birch bark as the canvas, and then the paint/image is stenciled on top.

Not bad for our first batch of stationary! (The artist is Lucie Keene of Vermont Birchbark Arts.)
