Visuals!

So the reason I began to blog was due to the inspiration other blogs have given me. Creative visual journeys into other artists and crafters' lives. So I am a little disappointed that I am just now sharing what I am making... but here it is!

These are some of the postcards I will be mailing this weekend as part of the homemade postcard swap!
The above image was collaged magazine images with ink added. She will be sailing off to the Netherlands.
This postcard actually isn't done. It will have an individually wrapped tea in the center of the white netting. The material used are produce netting, magazine image, and tea tags. I love Yogi and Celestial Seasonings. They taste good AND they have a little message... which makes drinking tea all the more lovely! This darling cup of tea is off to Illinois.
Gold with hints of architecture, fashion, and jewelry. LUXURY in a postcard! Materials used for this included magazine images, champagne bottle wrapper, and gold glitter (not in the image since it is still drying)
This is a pretty good depiction of me. It has teal, my favorite color. Gold and glitter to make my inner child jump for joy. A bunny - which even though the blog signs me as bird... Bunny is my nickname. An inspirational message reminder (for me and the receiver)

There are ten postcards in total. I am exhausted, so I promise to post them tomorrow. I just knew that if I didn't at least get a handful up... it would never happen. They say that if you decide to set a goal, you are far more likely to reach it if you do one step (it can be little, or even tiny) within the first 24 hours of setting the goal.
