Postcard Swap Part 1

My friend Marguerite Bryant and I participated in a postcard swap hosted by Kat Sloma at www.cateyestudio.com. We sent 5 postcards designed by us to Kat, and in return, she mailed us back 5 postcards from people we have never met. She also added one more that was a postcard made from one of her own photos. There is going to be a blog hop where we post the postcards we received from the other participants. Marguerite, however, sent me the 5 postcards she made since there was little likelihood we'd receive others' postcards.

M, as her friends often call her, loves to create art while listening to jazz. She hand drew 5 different people renowned in the jazz world and made them into postcards. Wow! I love her drawings, and wanted you to see them, too. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I did.

 

In order of their appearance, they are Ella Fitzgerald, Thelonious Monk, Nina Simone, Chet Baker and Billie Holiday. Aren't these fun?!

Take A Word Challenge - Beautiful

Photo by Coffee Monster at Deviant Art. I think watching the births of our four children was the most beautiful and amazing thing I have ever seen.

Steampunk Beetles

I did another version of the steampunk beetle project that I posted a while ago when I was taking a class by Kelly Hoernig. My original one was done in reds. I did this one as a gift for my friend Shane. I never showed the first one after I framed it, so this will let you see what the finished version is supposed to look like.

Mixed media and steampunk are so much fun to do!
