Postcards Are Rolling In!

Are you getting some great postcards? I can't beLIEVE some of the art that I'm getting.

In honour of Valentine's Day, I'm sharing some "link love" with all of you.

I've taken some photos of my favourites so far... have a look.


This card is from Carlene Taylor Simmons.
I was so tickled to get this because of the texture that she has created using fabric and her sewing machine along with the paper and paint...
I LOVE your work, Carlene!

This one is from the talented Pippa Gore. Have you checked out Pippa's blog?
She updates it about three times a day - you wouldn't believe how much art this woman makes.
She is truly an inspiration!

This is another card that really blew me away. It's from Pam Parker in Australia.
Get this: the leaves on her tree are made from APPLE STICKERS! Cute and clever.
Pam is just starting out her journey into mixed media and I'd say she's doing a splendid job!

Mark Montano has to be my number one idol in so many ways. I love what he pulls together.
He is like the MacGyver of Art, craft, and DIY.
Who else would put Mary, skulls, butterflies and glitter all in the same place?
I've never seen my name look so beautiful. I dream about being able to write in such a pretty way.
This is how Mark Montano addressed his (butterfly) envelope to me.

  2. I've had 6 come in so far, those who have included an email address I've thanked directly. I've also been putting them in a "public" album in facebook, Anyone wants so see, look up Anne Squire, my profile pic is the same road sign as here. I'm so enjoying seeing the variety of "subject matter", styles, and techniques. Thanks heaps Shannon for organising the swap!

Sorry. But wow!!! Such lovely artwork....can't wait to see what others got. I will be posting mine (both sent and rec'vd) on my blog soon. dangerousdoodlerthinksoutloud.blogspot.com

  8. I've received 2 postcards so far -- so fun! I finally finished mine and will send them tomorrow (late, I know), but we bought a house and finally moved. I scored an art studio out of the deal and had to wait for it to be constructed before I could unpack all my 'stuff!' this has been a fun experience for me. I'm hoping everyone else is enjoying it just as much :)
