Oh yeah, we were cool

I wish I still had this outfit! My sister Kathy, the other wearer of this fabulous ensemble (made by our very talented mother) will be receiving this postcard.

Danger Will Robinson

Remember the t.v. show "Lost in Space"? (dating myself here...) I had a little polyester number that I just loved. Made feel like I would be right at home in the Robinson's flying saucer. Angela Kline will be receiving this card, as I know she remembers her favorite outfit.

Did I mention that Jack is an excellent doodler?

Submission #2 from Jack. Colored markers on watercolor postcard paper.
This one is going to Brian.

First Submission - from Jack

I was so excited to receive the first submission today! After receiving his postcard from me, Jack was inspired to create two postcards of his own (instead of studying for finals). This one is going out to Emma. I'll post his other card tomorrow.

Try to resist puppy dog eyes

I never tire of painting dogs. This puppy is going to visit zany children's
book author & illustrator Laurie Keller. Hopefully, her kitty won't mind.

The Wave

This card is going to Jack, of course. He's been a really good sport about his hair being the subject of a postcard. I look forward to his postcard submission, as he is an excellent doodler.

Word of the Day, Part 2

A Nightingale is the commonly used definition for Philomel, but one reference defined it as a stringed instrument similar to a violin. This bird is flying to Deb & Doug wood, two designer/illustrators with uniquely different & wonderful styles. Instead of watercolor paper, I used chip board. I like the way the gouache sits on the surface of the board.

Word of the Day

Whenever I read the word "inchoate" in an article or story, I have to look up the definition, then promptly forget the meaning and have to look it up again the next time I come across it. Maybe if I associate the word with the picture, I won't forget it...(can anyone say visual learner?)
Chris Roberts-Antieau, choate artist extraordinaire, will be receiving this card.

Nesting Dolls

These little ladies are going to the lovely dollmaker, illustrator and author, Tracy Gallup. Gouache & ink on Windsor & Newton postcard paper.

G'bye...Don't forget to write!

I have a thing for Robots. Who doesn't? This little pink bot
was sent to funky John Dinser a.k.a. Rocky. Gouche and ink on Windsor & Newton postcard paper.
