Silkscreen-printed by hand on handmade paper and attractively
packaged, these notecards, featuring artwork from the best-selling
book, "The Night Life of Trees, " make the perfect thoughtful gift.
What happens in the forest after darkness falls? Artists from the
Gond tribal community in the densely forested region of central
India imagine trees as you have never seen them before. From the
state of Madhya Pradesh in central India, the Gonds are a community
of highly visual people. They surround themselves with their
stunning art, which is traditionally painted on the mud floors and
walls of their homes. The tree is at the heart of their art,
providing a rich source of inspiration. Each boxed set features ten
cards -- two each of five designs -- and ten envelopes, and
includes an insert with further information on the artist and
artisans involved. Proceeds from the sale of each notecard pack
support tribal and folk artists in India, as well as the skilled
artisans involved in the printing process.
