Your Naturist Self-Portrait #2

I always worry that I need to be precise in my sketches so I don't sign up for too many at once.  This one, if it took me 15 minutes it is a lot.  The song lyrics took longer.  I like how it turned out.

Your Naturist Self-Portrait #1

I don't know how accurate it is, LOL but it is done from a photo I shot of myself on my porch.  I'm getting bold in my old age :).

Your Arty Body Imprint #1

I need to do two of these for two swaps.  This is one finished one and the other I just need to embellish.  It was fun.

Abandoned Art

After YEARS of abandoning my own art I actually FOUND some yesterday!  This was lying outside our little library.  I had to bring it home to record and then I will once again release it into the wild for someone else to find :).  It is a painted tile with a hanger on back by a local artist.

When I abandon I use a pseudonym but this gal puts it all out there :)

Mail Me Some Art

Yesterday I found this little treat in my mailbox!  It is from "Mail Me Some Art" or MMSA.  I have totally been out of the mail art loop for a good 7 months.  Life got in the way.  As I was cleaning my room I came across some ATC etc. and thought "I should get back into this".  Well, look!  If the universe isn't saying "Welcome back!" I don't know who is!!!!

So in return, Greg in Georgia, is getting this postcard I made a couple years ago...

Color Themed Handmade Postcards

These are for two separate swaps for two different clubs.  Just a little simple idea, using paint chips and one of the photo cards from the paint kiosk.  Then on one I added washi tape and the other a piece of yellow rickrack.  Easy peasy yet fun to make.

Better Than a Photo Postcard

We were to take a photograph and alter it.  I had a hard time deciding and then re-read the directions and saw we could use a magazine photo if we wished.  That was an easier decision.  But then what to do?  Well, doodle I guess.  And this is what happened.

I learn something with every piece I do.  The lesson that came with this one was quit overthinking and being so darn uptight!  UGH!!
