Abstract 29 March 2012 (#382)
Bought some new card pretty recently and I didn't realise how bright it actually is until I cut some shapes from it to create this abstract piece. The red rectangle actually came from the Post Office when I bought some stamp miniature sheets and the card was being used to keep them flat/divided so a little bit of free mailart material courtesy of Post Office Counters!
Serrated Rulers 06 October 2011 (#222)
One of my daughters has a Hello Kitty ruler with a serrated edge so I drew round it once, twice, thrice and before you knew it I'd drawn round it several times and then coloured in the resulting patterns as you can see.
#141 Abstract
Haptic abstract from my label series. With a twist this time, I tore the labels before gluing and also used a marker.
# 128 & 129 Abstract
Original abstract scanned and printed. Trying my hand at printing this week and experimenting a bit.
# 127 The cats made me do it!
Not quite sure how to class this one. The cats were in charge. They wanted to send some fun to Greece.# 126 Abstract
From the scanned label series.
#3 Abstract
Last of the abstracts with Balloon Saloon stamp was mailed to my grand daughter, Mary.
#7 Handmade by a mermaid
I'm sending this card to my friend, Vicki, in Oakland, CA. She is homesick for the land of mermaids, so I put on my mermaid hat and made her a card, I know will make her happy. The back of it is just as much fun.
#2 Abstract
Second in this series. The art stamp painting can be viewed in a larger version on my blog. It was originally painted as a contribution to the Virtual Paintout. We were painting New York City last October and I took a fancy to that corner. The painting is titled Balloon Saloon.
#1 Abstract
I'm kicking off with a series which I will be sending to my Grandchildren. This is the first in the series. It is a watercolor, on Fabriano watercolor paper, using a washout tape method. It was then followed by a wash of Golden acrylic "fruitcake mixture" and topped off with a home made art stamp I made of one my paintings. The first three cards in this series will be going to my grandchildren.
