Natasha Hanna's card

Natasha's amazing piece:

Maimun's set

I got a bit behind in sending out my cards so I closed the year with a three-in-one pack:


This one is a postcard printing of a larger piece I'd done that was a multi-block print. I think there was a total of 15 blocks.

The year ended with a flurry of New Day celebrations and I apologize for taking so long to upload.

JD Asmussen sent in this beautiful piece with a wonderful sentiment

Dusty's Hopeful Child

I find this piece emotionally powerful.

One of my favorite quotes is, "You can start to change the landscape with a single flower (Spock)"

May this one grow like weeds! ;)

My first card in the swap came out of a stamp that I carved for my journal in November as part of my entry regarding Election night (the journal entry is the image to the left). It just seemed to me during the election coverage, that one moment the election could almost have gone either way, and then the next moment, Obama was in and the world had changed. It was that moment that I tried to capture with the stamp.

I wanted to reproduce my little collage from the journal on a postcard, and I spent some time thinking about it. I think I probably could have put my hands on 25 of the postage stamps, but I don't think the post office would have been too happy about cancelled stamps on the back of a postcard so I eventually gave in and came up with a simpler design for the postcard (see below).

Catching Up! (with apologies to all the participants!)

I'm sorry it's taken me a while to post the more recent entries. Some of these New Days still can get to be a bit much is my only explanation.

Janie P included fabric stamping on this:

And I just got this from Dusty today:
