A naturalist and photographer, Cheryl Fischer has used her digital photo skills to create multiple images, much like a kaleidoscope, as repeat patterns similar to patterns seen in fabric making or quilting. Most of Cheryl's original photos are captured in Montgomery County, Texas. Some are from Pineridge, the name of her nature retreat and home place.

All of Cheryl's notecards are blank inside to allow the user to utilize the space for an "old fashioned" handwritten message. The front image is often kaleidoscoped or quilted or both. The original photo is shown on the back. Sometimes the images are straight forward, other times people look on the back to solve the puzzle of "what is it".

Getting ready for the upcoming holidays...

After a brief visit to cooler Ohio, I am now in the spirit of the upcoming holidays in Texas. The cold front that moved through Texas today is also motivating me to think of the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you too are getting in the spirit, and would like to see more of my notecards to send to friends and family keep checking back as I work to get more images posted here on this blog. I have close to 50 images made up into cards that cover fall, flowers, Texas themes, and more Christmas images.... but my blogging skills are slower to get up to speed... I promise to get with it.... hope you'll look me up again soon.

I've revised my pricing on the blog, to reflect the prices I've been charging at the booth exhibits. Sorry if you saw the higher prices before I revised it.

Ordering Information
Each notecard comes with its own white envelope and is hand signed by the artist. The card is blank inside for personalizing your own message. Price is $2.50 each or 5 for $10.00 (any combination)and packaged in clear packaging that is great for gift giving. Charges for shipping and handling are $3.99 via the US Postal Service, Priority Mail. FREE SHIPPING if order is $50 or more.

If you'd like to order any of my Christmas (or other) cards in large quantities, I'll consider discounting. The Birdhouse cards are now available at "Just for the Birds" shop in Old Town Spring.
