Lightbringers 1 – Notecard

$5.00
This piece splits the difference between two halves of the day. On the left, a sun radiates outward in warm yellows, reds, and oranges, its rays fluttering like actual movement. On the right, a moon face looks back, composed entirely of tight navy spirals that form eyes, cheeks, and a gentle expression. Between them runs a band of gradient curves in coral, yellow, green, and blue, creating a visual bridge from warmth to cool. Every element here is hand-rolled paper. The sun's rays are individual strips bent and pinned to catch light differently depending on angle. The moon's features are built from coils stacked and shaped to give the face dimension and personality. The connecting band uses layered strips to create that smooth color transition, each one overlapping the next. What makes this work is the balance. The sun doesn't dominate the moon, and the moon doesn't get lost in shadow. They're equals in an oval frame that holds everything together. The navy outline gives it structure while the interior stays light and airy. Up close you see the hand in every curve. Step back and it reads as a complete cycle, a reminder that day and night aren't opposites. They're the same thing, just taking turns. At 5x7, this design still holds all its complexity. The sun and moon read clearly at smaller scale, and the spiral work doesn't blur or lose its character. The notecard format makes it feel like you're sending a tiny version of the original art, not a generic greeting card. Plenty of room inside for your own message. Meant to be written in, passed along, and kept somewhere you'll see it regularly.
