Sarah Richards was a vegan, cat-loving bookcrosser....guess whether we got on?! Her bookcrossing name was 'Veganknitter' which I always thought was pretty wonderful. Anyway, she got inflammatory breast cancer and died recently. I have no idea whether or not the card on the right is any good as I was an emotional mess while making it, but I *think* it has a suitably crafty, textily feel to it that's appropriate. I think that's the key with sympathy cards - rather than have a black cross on a purple background, have an image that fits and celebrates the person. Although this is basically assemblage, I spent a couple of hours finding the pieces that felt right for her. Ach, who knows. Anyway (incoherent whimpering).
I also have a card to make for someone with terminal prostate cancer. Is it me, or does 2009 suck mightily?
