I thoroughly enjoyed reading yo...What a great post. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your thoughts about our new Ordinary Form Latin Altar Card. You certainly raise some great points, some of which I've been agonizing over for a long time. First, is my company, Myriad Creative Concepts, even ALLOWED to design an altar card for the Ordinary Form. I got a request to design this and naively assumed it was OK to do so. But, a priest friend who helped me design this card stated there might be a problem with Vatican permission. But, how in the world does one get permission from the Vatican? Who knows, maybe I'll get a summons to appear in Rome one of these days. And, I won't have a clue as to what to say. And, a prepared statement wouldn't do me any good because, like people you mention, I would freeze up if trying to read something in public. You also raise the question whether just anyone can design altar cards. Well, I am certainly no authority on altar cards and have sweated bullets trying to do this. I am really trying to be accurate in the texts and certainly don't want to inject my own art very much into the designs. "Precious Memories" and "Home Interiors" art look much better than mine. That's why I try to take pieces of very, very old vintage altar cards and digitally manipulate them into new hybrid designs. That way, I don't actually ever have to try to draw an angel or something. Recently, I have been asked to design a set for the Dominican Order. They have no idea how tall an order that is for me. But, I will somehow stumble through the process. Yes sir, this vocation has its downside of scrutiny and unknowns. But, I do really like providing priests with what they want and need. And, it feels really good to know that my work will outlive me. Your comments, suggestions, and criticisms are always welcome. I love feedback no matter what the stance. So, please feel free to email me any time: myriadcreativeconcepts@yahoo.com. Thanks for the post and for allowing me to comment. Best wishes.Myriad Creative Conceptshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612797483629449771noreply@blogger.com
