I am not a fairy girl, but my partner for this swap is. She also said that brown and green were her favorite colors...voila!

Acrylic paint and ink on recycled cardboard, fairies and poem from a 1920's children's book, and you probably can't see them here, but I added some little green beads.

This only took 24 hours to go from coast to coast!

I covered a regular old vanilla (yes, I know it's manilla) envelope with old book pages and I handpainted the fish!!
I am so impressed with myself! :)

Created for my layers of flavor swap in the handmade postcard club on swapbot.

The idea was to start with a piece of cardboard, cover it papers, then do at least 3 more layers of stamping, painting, etc. This one ended up with 8 layers.

mailart365-Day 200 Counting Crows

Friday, December 30, 2011

Via Flickr:
Created for the Cut and Paste group on Swapbot. The theme was numbers.

I had this card all finished and sitting on the stairs to take upstairs to scan when my daughter said "Mom, are you done with this one?" "Why", I said. "Because 36 divided by 4 is not 8!". Blonde moment...I added a crow. That's why she's in AP Calculus....

Old math book page of logarithms, flashcard, very secure crows..

Via Flickr:
Marvin didn't realize how difficult the course was going to be until he hit the rough on hole two and had to contend with the Wet Willy hazard.

This one went off to Punwit although I suspect that he is NOT a golfer.
