Studio Series Artist's Tile Postcards
There is something quietly satisfying about a blank postcard made to the standard of a proper sketchbook. These are not novelty cards. They are working art surfaces that happen to be postcard-sized, designed for the artist who wants to make something beautiful and then actually send it.
What you get
Each set contains 25 acid-free, archival-quality postcards printed on sturdy 400 gsm card stock. That weight is substantial, closer to watercolour paper than greeting card stock, and it holds its shape rather than curling under wet media.
The cards measure approximately 15.2cm wide by 10.2cm high, a standard postcard format that sits comfortably in the hand and travels through the mail without fuss.
The surface
The fine-tooth surface is designed for precise line work with no ink bleed, and performs well across both dry and wet media. In practice, that means you can work with graphite, coloured pencil, pastel, pen and ink, gel pen, light watercolour washes, watercolour crayons, or ink stamps and get clean, controlled results.
The rounded corners resist damage in transit, which matters when the finished work is going in the post.
Front and back
The front of each card is entirely blank, leaving the full surface open for your artwork or design. The reverse is lined for addressing and includes space for your personal message, your recipient's address, your return address, and a stamp. Everything is laid out with quiet restraint so the card reads properly once it arrives.
Who these are for
These cards suit a wide range of artists and makers. They are well suited to those who practice Zentangle, botanical illustration, fine liner work, miniature painting, or hand lettering. They are equally useful as artist trading cards, gift enclosures, or small studies for larger work. For the artist who enjoys giving original work as a gift, a hand-drawn postcard sent through the post carries a particular kind of warmth that a print cannot replicate.
