Deep Peace notecards
Deep Peace notecards
a traditional Celtic blessing of peace
From occasions of joy to expressions of sorrow, the gift of peace is always welcome!
Featuring a beloved traditional Celtic blessing, these notecards are made of thick, 100% cotton paper (made with sustainable wind and hydro energy) and letterpress printed on a 1914 Chandler-&-Price press. I hand-set each metal letter in the beautiful American Uncial typeface (designed by Victor Hammer in the 1940s), and blind-stamped the lovely Penline Flourishes for ornament. The soft green ink is oil-base and color-fast. Size: 4.5 x 6.25 inches. Matching envelope included.
These notecards are meant to be shared — enjoy a discount when you order in sets of 5 or 10!
~ Peace be with you and yours ~
Full text of the card:
Deep peace of the running waves to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Deep peace of the God of peace to you.
Here’s a brief video of blind-stamping (printing without ink) the ornaments on the notecards. This press was made by the Chandler & Price company in 1914 in Cleveland, Ohio, and can be operated either by foot-treadle or variable-speed motor. It’s a 1,500-pound workhorse!
