I had very nicely produced actual size cards done of Mary Mother of Mercy and Tenderness and Angel Gabriel. The one of Mary has a slightly waxed finish, and the Gabriel one is a sort of shiny finish. The pictures of them are in the 'Learning to write Orthodox Icons' section.
I am not sure exactly how many I have left of each, more of Gabriel than Mary, as people keep asking me for them to frame them, so I just gave them away.
I was thinking of listing them under religious cards which seem to go for about 99p. (they cost me 85p each to have done, so I wouldn't mind £1.70 +postage.
It would be cheeky to put them under religious icon prints. I will need to check postage from here in Jersey, I sent an ordinary A5 letter recorded the other day that was £1.65. So I guess for a limited edition special card £3.50/£4.50 total isn't out of the way for a meaningful and very spiritual subject. I will need to get some cellophane covers, and some of those do not bend wallets.
I might even auction them!
Most of our friends have framed them or keep them somewhere they can see them, so I would not send them with an A5 envelope. This is nice to choose for yourself, as I got Gold or Silver ones when I gave them.
Having done them, I guess I don't have much confidence in offering them for sale, so some feedback would be helpful to know if someone would like one.
Leave me a comment below and I will get on to it pronto!
Dont' expect a miracle, I am finding myself a bit of a technophobe about doing e-bay, but I will do my best!
I will put a picture of the cards themselves up tomorrow.

Here are the card pictures.
I have about 100 of the Mary Mother of Mercy and Tenderness Card that are good, and a few more that have marks or dog ears from storage, although this does not affect the Icon print. I have a few more of the Gabriel Card. I can send with a plain white A5 envelope as a card I suppose, or do a do not bend package, I will try to go to town tomorrow. No point today as town was closed off for our annual air show. This was unfortunately cancelled due to poor visability. The first time I can remember this happening.
I would like to send a card to each family that lost a person in that air crash in Yaroslavia, so I might reserve a few to send, I saw the names were published, I can't think how I could send a card without the addresses
