From the art to the cards

A little about the card production process

All the cards begin as original art works created by Annabelle B. Rodger - pencil and pen sketches that are completed using mostly watercolour paints, pencils and washes.  The sizes of the cards vary - small, medium and large. The colour tones of the cards can differ slightly from how they render on your screen - again there's no easy solution because people's screen colour settings can vary.

Tawa Print worked from the completed art. They have been reliable and supportive, ensuring that the cards were printed with care and attention to detail. April 2009 Tawa Print merged with AdPrint Ltd, 60 Cambridge Terrace, Wellington, NZ. Ph 04 384 2844

Tawa Print produced the original cards from the originals on a Fuji Xerox DocuColour using a digital printing process, and also on Heidelberg presses using the offset printing method. After experimenting, we found that an ultra-smooth card produced the closest effect to the original artworks.  The board is totally chlorine free, and has Forest Sustainability Council (FSC) certification.

All the cards are blank inside (though my characters definitely are not!)  Contact and copyright information are printed on the back.

Every card, including those in packs, is sold with its own envelope.
