Water Bottle Cards CURRENTLY ON SALE AT BLENKO

Above is a photo of the first shipment of water - bottle inspired cards, these are hand made cards. There are seven (each a different color) cards, each with a mailing envelope and enclosed in a protective plastic envelope.

Readers: I have 2 of these cards triple matted and hanging in my living room they are works of art! A must have for a Blenko Collector.
I don't have news from Blenko re: price. I would recommend you phone Blenko to inquire about price and availability.
This may be a limited opportunity. Its one I recommend you take. Use them as cards for special occassions - or use the cards as art!
The creator is Diane Weber a collector of glass and a paper artist.

  3. I could not agree more phani.
    Blenko should promote Diane and these one of a kind cards.
    Bruce this charcoal is lovely and the charcoal cat from Husted lineis lovely however the new Birthday charcoal is a bit flat to my untrained eyes.
    Also I find the design bland.
    Last year I like the vase, but thought the stopper didn't fit, it wasn't a good fit ( need a rubber band to stay put) didn't artistically blend with the vase again I m not an artist.
    The #1 and #2 Bayliss Birthday vases I liked. Perhaps they should turn Bayliss loose, when I visit his website the designs are free and flowing and artistic.
    Just a thought.

  6. There were only seven cards in the initial order, as samples to see if they would sell. Blenko will be making a determination on how many and in what colors they wanted a subsequent order. I can only make between 8 and 10 in a day - they are handmade, remember - before my hands give out and refuse to hold the X-Acto knife. I will let Hillary know when I get an order for more.

  7. Mountain Rita,

    Ask for Marilyn at the visitor center and ask her about Diane Weber's Card design. They have 7 types and I ordered 1 of each.
