question for you readers...
so, if you had 92 holy cards, not a one of them the same, what the hell (pun intended) would you do with them?
i've had this odd collection of holy cards for a while now, and i want to put them to some use, but i'm not sure what that use should be... house of cards? collage? trade 'em with friends?
anyway, i'm looking for ideas, so if you've got ideas, let me know.

Are those the cards that you get when someone dies, with the pictures of Jesus, etc. on them?
yup. them's the ones. i've currently got them separated into the foll owing categories:
1) shepherds
2) weird priests and nuns
3) jesus by himself
4) mary and jesus-as-a-baby
5) mary by herself
6) angels
7) visions/hallucinations
8) creepy looking children
9) pictures with animals
10) pictures with violence
11) miscellaneous saints
do they have prayers on them or just imagery? if there are words, i'd probably buy myself a 10 X 12 glass frame and use them like refrigerator magnets to create a new poem.
annie dillard, in mornings like these, created "found" poems by a similar process with the christian apocrypha.
eBay. you could make someone's day and collection.

One word:
Decoupage.
Kisses.
Chop them into pieces, mix with some avocado and spices, and make HOLY GUACAMOLE!
