We are all storytellers
Storytelling has always been part of how humans connect with one another, impart information, and shape and maintain shared values.
​
We use stories in our inner lives too. People naturally seek to make sense of their experience by creating a narrative that connects individual moments together.
Storytelling is a great tool for revealing to ourselves the types of yarns we tend to tell. As we build the muscle for telling stories, we learn to tell better and more intentional tales. We may even get better at seeing moments for what they are, without the need to overlay our own narrative. And telling stories is a lot of fun!

Story Card Images
Eyes Nine Story Cards are engaging, simple images that are mythic and dreamlike. They can be easily combined because of the cards’ simple color palette and repeated objects. Our basic deck has 45 cards. Our expansion set has 21 additional images.

About Our Story Cards
A mother and daughter created Eyes Nine Story Cards. Alexandra was nine and sixteen when she drew her cards. Georgia wanted to do a project with her daughter, a burgeoning artist, and has always liked collaborative storytelling. The pictures come from dreams, personal experience, and the imagination.
