"Seated Scribe note cards evolved from the artist/owner's interest in design, history and culture. The artist first researches a design in order to learn about the history and culture from which it sprang. The original designs come from relics, tile work, textiles and architecture. The artist uses the designs to render a drawing, which she then paints in watercolor. Each painting is scanned into the computer and edited to smooth out the final image. On the back of each card is historical information about the featured design." -- The Seated Scribe
