A card, in private
Notes on commissioned work for occasions held close.
There are occasions that belong to a small number of people. A private anniversary. A recognition given quietly. A moment the family has decided to mark among themselves rather than announce.
For these, the standard card, sent through the standard channel, does not fit. Not because it lacks warmth, but because the channel is public and the moment is not. The medium and the occasion have to agree.
Our commissioned work exists for exactly this. A card, held on its own address, open only to the people invited to sign. What appears on the page is scoped to the occasion. What does not appear is scoped just as carefully.
We do not publish what we make for private commissions. If you have seen one, someone chose to share it with you. If you have not, that is also correct.
For anyone weighing whether the work is right for a particular occasion, the honest answer arrives in the first conversation. Not before.
