Meanwhile, I’m getting a little worried about the four cards I mailed a week ago… I know USPS is having its issues lately, but you’d think at least one of them would have reached its destination by now…
Thanks-- it’s my favorite black watercolor paper, on which I did a sort-of rainbow swirl with my new super mica-infused watercolors from Beam Paints, then did the embroidery, and overpainted the center of the moon with a graphite watercolor, and then added some stars in gel pen.
I received the coolest card from @Cindy last night. It’s so graphic and bold. She said it was part of a larger piece that she cut down to form an ATC.
I also have to add that I am super impressed with how neat your hand writing was in the card. You must have been a teachers delight. Great penmanship!
Happy you like the card. Thank you for the compliment on my penmanship
My friends used to tease me in high school, saying they could put a ruler along the top of the letters and it would be level. Must have picked it up from my dad, he has the nicest handwriting I’ve ever seen and he’s a doctor.
I absolutely love any art created by @gozer. Her style and creativity always amazes me. Look at this watercolor, sparkly pen, and marker masterpiece!!! She picked my dinos in space theme and I absolutely positively love it!
Wow! This gallery blows me away; everyone’s cards are so cool. Having done Tim Curry myself for @artsycandice, I’ve got to mention @curiousfae’s version. Totally amazing!
@cindy – Joy has never looked so joyous. The bird is so pretty and I like the colors you put with the photo.
@roler – the quilt was clever and cute. The seahorse in the corner is adorable. The Baba Yaga shelf is very cool. The skull is adorable.
@Lynx – I laughed when I read your description of the ATC to Curiousfae. I can see it too. What was the theme?
@Thanate – the stitched moon card is really neat. The different metallics in the background are beautiful. Cute skateboarding cat and gardening bunny.
@endymion – That Pushing Daisies card is incredible! You can tell you put so much thought (not to mention talent) into it. It perfectly captures the feel of the show.
@jellybean – adorable Eevee and great coloring on it.
@pioneer9 - #13 has such foreboding and tells a story. The penguins are absolutely adorable.
@Curiousfae – Oh my! That RHPS one is AMAZING! I love it so much. The stippling is perfect and I and insane about the teeth. Those are not easy. Love the sparkle on the lips and the positioning of the face on the card. Complete perfection! That flamingo is bonkers too. You are a talent powerhouse!
@photojenn – The colors are so bold and pretty on the doodle card.
@bluebird – I love your style. That penguin is so cute and I love the little hearts.

Lol gozer, I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do for “rainbow colors,” so that’s what I came up with.
I found a copy of that pic and embellished it with ink and paint. That’s why I sent a bonus card because I felt guilty. Lol. Yours on the other hand was way more original! I loved it. You even nailed the shadowy onlookers. So good!
I received this beauty from @photojenn today for my “mixed media with a heart and a positive affirmation” theme. The ATC is on the right, and one of her earlier attempts is adorning the card she sent it in. I love them both!
In less-happy news, I received one of the “sorry we ate your mail” envelopes from USPS containing my card for @curiousfae. It got returned to me because the part with her address had a literal chunk out of it… which of course meant the ATC inside was ruined, too. I will make a new one and hopefully get it in the mail Monday. Here’s a photo of the carnage. (I don’t want to post a picture of the poor, mangled ATC because I should be able to reproduce it and don’t want to spoil the surprise… though you can get a little peep at it there.)
Oh man. There are some real gems in this gallery!
Life has gotten in the way, so I’ve missed commenting on a lot in the gallery, so I’m just going to go back a few posts. @pioneer9 I LOVE that tiger and your penguins!!! Your art style makes me soooo happy. @photojenn Those heart cards are amazing. The layering and texture you got are phenomenal. @curiousfae Your watercolor game is on point. Let’s add watercolor to the things you need to teach me when we get together next. @bluebird That little Letter P card is adorable! I love the chonky penguin and the layout/flow of the card is so great!
