Marjorie Wortz dreams of nature, but not like the rest of us. She has a special talent for dreaming up the most surprising and playful uses for the beautiful natural objects we see around us every day. In a collaborative effort with Mother Nature, Marjorie turns flowers, leaves, pine cones, fruit, spices, seashells and sand into miniature works of art. A dahlia petal becomes a hot air balloon. A seashell becomes a man's necktie. Grains of white sugar form a wisp of steam rising from a coffee mug made from, what else, real coffee grounds.

And the best part is that each design is a greeting card! That's right: signed, sealed, delivered. You can write your own message in one of Marjorie's Dreams of Nature cards and send it to someone you care about, or frame it to keep forever. Or both.

A Delaware native now living in Tacoma, Washington, Marjorie has since childhood treasured Nature's tiny mementoes. Each of her designs starts with a piece of nature that captures her artistic eye. Color, texture and individual beauty combine in unexpected ways to create a unique piece of artwork that will amaze and inspire you. When you send a Dreams of Nature greeting card, you are sending a piece of art that will be treasured for years to come. Each one is a little gem of nature that will serve as a reminder of the beauty surrounding us every day.
