As a "lasped" catholic who, none the less, is still devoted to the saints, I had to follow up.<BR/><BR/>As far I as know, there is not a designated saint for paper and/or design. The Patron Saints of Artists are Catherine of Bologna, Saint Luke and the Blessed Fra Angelico (he has my vote!)<BR/><BR/>Of course, for those frustrating times when the muse has departed for whereabouts unknown, there is always my personal patron saint - Saint Jude,<BR/>Patron Saint of Lost Causes.<BR/><BR/>But might I suggest a rather obvious candidate: Saint Valentine?<BR/>Among other associations, he is the Patron Saint of Greetings, which seems to fit with much of what you design.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/>Judith (work with Todd at OHSU Library)Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178171003283973156noreply@blogger.com
