THE AWAKENING (SET OF 5) – DONNA ONG
$25.00
Each card contains a hidden wish, hope, or dream that is symbolically represented by a pair of delicate wings. When a card is bought, written, and given to another, the wings take flight and “come to life” — physically transported by air or sea as well as immaterially from the page into the mind and thoughts of the receiver. Card covers in these 5 emotions: sorry, thank you, congratulations, condolences, love.

In this case, it is a measurement of the designer’s futile attempts at precision and perfection.
