These are a couple of the postcards I made for iHanna's PostCard swap. The weather didn't cooporate for the inkodye or cyanotypes I wanted to do, so I printed negatives of my dog Honey with the inkjet printer on watercolor paper. Brushed over the top was a combination of reflective and duochrome paints from Daniel Smith. They caused the inkjet ink to run a bit. I added washi tape, and hearts cut from a quotations book, also painted. On the back, more washi tape and a punched stamp with my doggie on it. They were sent out in envelopes since they wouldn't make it through the mail on their own. I sent them to people in the USA, Sweden, Italy and Australia.
Here are a couple that I received.
A beautiful sewn fabric card, a gorgeous little hand painted birdie on a metallic background, and a very involved stamped and painted card. Love them all!
More photos tomorrow.

A couple of visual blogs
Photo by Margaret Oomen, ResurrectionFern (Click to enlarge and see the snails)While it is fun to read blogs, sometimes I just want to relax with a few words and some beautiful photos.
Margaret Oomen, in the Toronto area, takes gorgeous photos of the natural area around her home and the east coast of Canada. She also creates various beautiful hand-made items. Her blog is called ResurrectionFern.
Another blog containing lots of homey photos and snippets of homelife is called Habit and has several contributers.
Both of these blogs are updated often and are a quick stop to reflect and enjoy the beauty of the world.
As for my own photos, I think I lost my digital point and shoot camera. Plus, the preview pane was broken, so it was a little awkward to change menu settings. In the meantime, I'll have to make do with my Windows phone camera.
Sketch of Honey the dog.
