Ginny... Sharing the Kindness

I only started this project in January this year, not even two months ago.  It is exciting how quickly it is growing -- but then again, sharing kindness is pretty cool if I do say so myself!

What is so wonderful is Ginny Stiles, an artist from Florida/Wisconsin, has began what appears to be a mass sharing of kindness!  Thank you Ginny for creating Tangled Little Cards and leaving them in special places!  Do check out her blog... her work is beautiful!

So, it is with giddy happiness that I receive notes from people that are taking the project into their own hands and running with it!

Thank you

Thank you

Tangled Little Cards by Ginny Stiles

Read Ginny's post about the Tangled Kindness Project.  

NOLA ~ Ohio ~ Virgin Islands and beyond!

I am so giddy happy; seriously, it is impossible to state how communication from one person (a stranger, even!) can impact someone so deeply!  Just the other day I received an email from an artist, one who found a Tangled Little Card. It is wonderful to think that something  so little can make such a big impact and that something so little can be shared vastly. 

Thank you Angela for believing in the Tangled Kindness Project!  She took it upon herself to make Tangled Little Cards and send them out on their own journeys.

With permission, I share her email; know that it made me cry! At the end of Angela's texts is a photo of the beautiful cards she made.

Kindness is a beautiful thing! 

Hi Amy,

My name is Angela Gage.  I am an artist and I found your card at the Lafayette Cemetery in New Orleans.  My daughter just moved to New Orleans last August.  I have never visited there and I went to visit her in January. She lives in an apartment in the Garden District and we walked to the cemetery.  I know this sounds weird but I was thinking before we got there that I would love to find something in the cemetery. We walked around a bit and then came to the tomb with the pansies in front and I found your card! My daughter looked up the Tangled Kindness Project on her phone and we knew we were allowed to take the card.  It is my favorite souvenir from that city!  I love the whole concept behind your cards.  I showed everyone I could when I got back home to Columbus Ohio.

I work in a wholesale frame shop, where we cut mats also.  My boss and his wife were going to go on vacation to Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. I wanted to make a card for them to take and spread the kindness.  I made three cards and they picked one to take with them.  I put the Tangled Kindness Project on the back.  I hope that is ok.

On a separate note, I teach Oil Painting, Drawing and Pastels.  In my Drawing class, we touch on pen and ink. I have never heard of tangled designs.  I have thoroughly enjoyed making this type of artwork.  Normally I am a very realistic artist.  I paint commissioned portraits also.  Doing this artwork is very relaxing.

Thank you so much for your card!!  I really love it!

Angela Gage
