Artist Notes:
|
Wish your moms a Happy Mother's Day with a card featuring cute ballerina bears in tutus and ballerina shoes on a pink-flowered background bordered in a checkered frame. The woman who first proposed Mother's Day in 1870 was the same woman who wrote the lyrics to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." After the Civil War, writer Julia Ward Howe suggested a Mother's Day to recognize peace and protest war. She organized annual events in Boston to honor mothers, but despite her work (and her moving "Mother's Day Proclamation"), nothing official came of her efforts. Original design by Laurie Schneider, elements by KazKraftz.
