In the Craftsman style

 

I'm doing a card making workshop at a few places this month based on the American Craftsman style which grew out of the international Arts & Crafts movement of the late 19th and early 20th century. The movement was a reaction to the Industrial Revolution and the ornate late Victorian style. It's proponents believed that handcrafted was superior to machine made. The style was popular and influenced architecture,interior design and the decorative arts. I love its elegant simplicity. I've tried to give these cards some of those qualities.
