My Mom made 10 postcards for the Global Mail Art group she joined.
She always takes pictures of them on the floor.
Here I am (Troelie) showing her that nothing beats the real thing!!!!
She received 10 gorgeous postcards from all around the world by wonderful artists and had to send 10 herself.
Here they are:
This one went to Lolo.
A do it yourself door hanger.
This one she made for Patty on her break from Hong Kong to Amsterdam. She gave it to a Chinese colleague , who took it back to Hong Kong to mail it from there.
It really went the world over twice :)
This one she made for Mim. She found a vintage postcard and used the lower part and painted the upper part.
This one was for Lisa. Watercolor, ink and silver leaf.
Another door hanger for Lynn.
A raffie and African landscape for Joss.
She didn't expect this boat to stay on during the trip to Caroline!
But miraculously it did!
A colorful cat for Cat
Moonlight for Debra (Did it ever get there...)
and Home is where the heart is for Suki!
Notice that 8 out of 10 cards have animals in them.......... :)
Happy Animal Wednesday!
These are absolutely gorgeous. HAW. I think I forgot to take pictures of all of mine. I need to do a couple more though.

I haven't finished mine yet and I forgot to make a copy of Lisa's :(

All these miniature works of art are so lovely, so inspiring! Sigh....wish I could paint....
But, I can appreciate!

Sooo cute is your kitty! I just loved seeing them all of your postcards together! Beautiful, each and every one of them (but I the one you made for me best!!). I just made a flickr slide show of mine over on my blog - think I might do the same for the Arty Soulsisters pieces I did - I love to see them as a collection!
ReplyDeleteyour cards are all so wonderful! A fun roundrobin for sure. I love it that the hong kong card was mailed from hong kong. that's fun.

Now I've got to post all mine together that I sent out. I've never seen the one I made for Debra post either.....maybe she still just hasn't gotten to it? What a lovely collection. I do cherish mine from Hong Kong!
