Mailart 365 has moved

I don't take a lot of chances with my art. This particular card is pretty, but not particularly artistic. I just picked the colors from the vintage food label, added a simple stamped image and glued it together. When I do get a bit more adventurous with color, I use a color wheel to spell out exactly the colors that I should pick from in order to create a scheme that works.

My mom is a quilter. She can put patterns and colors together with incredible skill. And she isn't train. She discovered quilting late in life, at age 60. Before making her first quilt she had never really operated a sewing machine. Her quilts are works of art and I'm lucky enough to have two of them.

My mom gives me hope that someday I might not always play it safe when it comes to art.
