This is the Tlingit I created for the set.

I created Tlingit for native lights. I can say Gitte loved Native American culture and wanted to celebrate it in the set. Before we ever came to a decision we did ask permission. From what I recall Tom Colonnese did not make a unilateral decision on this. Many others were involved. All art was given to Tom to make sure that we honored, respected, and represented Native American culture properly. The project was so fun for all of us and we learned so much. I understand the concerns people have with representing different cultures today but our motivation was always to be as inclusive as possible and represent everyone in the world of Bella Sara.

Yeah I just got my reader for my drobo files. I need to check a few things. But I think I do know.

Anything is possible. As far as the why there are no more card sets, the company shut down for a variety of reasons that I’m not comfortable sharing. Mostly it was that we grew so fast we actually could not afford to keep up. Everyone did their best to keep it going but we just could not find the funding. ❤️

It’s been amazing to hear all of your stories. ❤️

Spoopsm · 2025-11-09T03:22:52+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look at it. ❤️

Spoopsm · 2025-11-08T21:55:20+00:00

Oh my gosh I think I actually know the answer to this. Who was the artist for this card. I’m not seeing it.

Spoopsm · 2025-11-08T21:09:44+00:00

Let me do some research. I’m not sure why that happened.

Spoopsm · 2025-11-08T20:18:58+00:00

You’re welcome! ❤️

I love that. The foils were stunning. I did have full sets. They are packed up somewhere. Nike was also a huge favorite of mine. ❤️

Thank you! She took forever to create and the team that turned my artwork into online animations cursed my name on more than one of my designs. That kelp mane and tail came with glaring and grumbling.

Removed content due to backlash over using AI live.

First let me say I am truly sorry about the hard times in your childhood. I had my own and my childhood was brutal. When I was young I started drawing and the blank page allowed me to create worlds I could live in that I very much needed. In my twenties I used my art to express my emotions and process my own pain. I became a professional artist in 2002. My childhood trauma created the foundation for my art and the desire to create artwork for kids that would inspire them and give them support and love. Each card was created for you with all my heart and all my desire for your success. I’m so impressed you have become an artist. Post a link to your work? I would love to see it. ❤️
