Hi Buy Canadian Lemmy,

I spent a long time making these botanical micro-art trading cards for myself. They are for each province and territory of Canada. Kind of a hobby that got out of hand. I made everything by hand, locally and offline, so every individual card has some variations to them.

I’m really curious if others would ever want something like this as Canadian made micro-art collectables, happy to figure out if it’s just me who likes them or?

I added a url for a waitlist (recommended to make one by a friend for this), just to see if anyone anywhere might be interested in my crafts. Not sure if it worked, as I've been on lemmy for a while but these are my first posts.

Thanks

They look super cool and I could see individuals or decks selling at gift stores, michaels, mindgames, eg bradley etc... depends on how you do them. Deck, collectables, postcards , souvenires of places where the art is a match for a local botanical rarity.

I also think there is a market for art that looks more like a realistic sketch. Something more realistic and less iconic. Still art, not a photo. But like a black and white artistic sketch with some artistic water colour splashed around.

Very cool.

Thanks! I'll consider that for sure. The comments are all definitely valuable for a next version!
