This postcard started with the poppy seed packet and grew from there. I found the bird (it was red!), which led to music for the bird to sing, etc. I selected a few more fun images, printed the resulting digital collage on photo fabric, hand-stamped the green doodle in the bottom right-hand corner, added some hand embroidery and a glitzy crystal flower and there you have it!I've never done a give-away, but it sounds like fun -- we all like to get cool stuff in the mail, right? :-) Assuming that I could wave a magic wand and plop you in front of a post office anywhere in the world (to send this card, of course!), where would that be and why? Please post a comment and I will select a winner this coming Sunday morning between 9 and 10AM PDT (or as soon as possible after I get back from walking the dogs!). Cheers!
Hi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteI love your postcard, and especially like the explanation of how you created it. Too often I find collaged compositions to be just a hodgepodge of unrelatable items. I much prefer a composition that has some meaning or purpose, which yours does!
It is a lovely piece!
This is a classy card, Kathy. What was your inspiration? The colors suggest a time of gracious living with secrets behind closed doors. Very lovely.

ReplyDeleteAh Kathy, congratulations on your first give away. If your beautiful card found it's way to my mailbox here in SE Queensland, Australia, I would be one happy little Vegemite [an Australian saying]. I think your card is just beautiful, colour, composition and execution. Well done. Good luck to all who comment here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I would love to have it in my red room.
ReplyDeleteBut whether or not I win, it's a great inspiration for me to get something done with my own digital explorations.

You are very generous to offer a gift! I find quilting is enjoyable not only for the creative aspect, but also for the postive community and talent that quilting attracts. All the best, Margaret
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous postcard. If I could be in a Post Office in my old home town of Tunbridge Wells in England, I'd be just so happy. I left there for Australia back in 1969 and have never returned. I guess I'd see so many changes.
ReplyDeleteThank You so much for offering your lovely postcard as a gift.

ReplyDeletea happy little Vegemite, Linda in Australia! Please email me with your mailing address and I will send the card to you. Thanks, everyone! That was fun and maybe we can do it again soon. :-)
Oh my goodness, I am thrilled to bits. I just didn't check back because I NEVER win anything. I can't believe it. Thanks Kathy. I've sent you a message via SF message system. I will be one happy little Vegemite when your lovely PC arrives. I'm off now to mention it on my blog. Thanks heaps.
