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

I have bee posting on my blog about this project which I happened on by accident.
ReplyDeleteI wrote you an email separately about how I am proposing to put the kindness blog on my little cards. I have not heard back from you yet...but I went ahead and left two at Shands hospital this morning in their waiting rooms. It felt so lovely leaving them there. I hope someone finds them and likes them.
It's possible you might get some feedback here on the blog?
You can also see my blogpost from yesterday at http://ginnystiles.blogspot.com giving the reference to this site. I am getting all kinds of feedback on it.
Ginny: It is so exciting that you are leaving Tangled Little Cards in special places! I imagine that whomever finds them in the hospital will be embraced by kindness and love! PS-- Sorry for the delay; I have been leaving Tangled Little Cards all around the Caribbean! Amy
ReplyDeleteHi Amy, I am a student of Angela Gage and was so intrigued by her story of finding one of your cards that I am learning the method and going to leave cards along my travels with my husband this next month from Ohio to California. This is my blog which mentions my participation in your project.http://suewilliamsstudio.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteSue! This is fantastic! If you don't mind I would like to blog about your blog. :) Happy and safe travels; can't wait to see where Tangled Little Cards land! Amy
