1912 German Postcard

I was antique shopping in Carefree/Cavecreek a week ago and found this lovely postcard dated 1912! Thought I'd make a precious collage or a set of greeting cards using this image. So sweet, so pretty... There's a canceled one cent stamp and a lovely birthday greeting on the back, one cent? Can you believe it?

Vintage Tag

Here's my latest challenge tag. Some very old vintage lace on one layer of the collaged piece. ENJOY!

Star Dust ~ Poem by Judy Wood

Shooting stars are simply grit from space colliding with air molecules high up in the sky.

Tonight the air is cool. The night is still.
The scent of night blooming jasmine tickles my nose.
The blanket around my shoulders feels soft and warm.

As I gaze into the starlit sky, lost in thoughts of the coming day
I hear the door creak open.
I feel his breath on my cheek as he moves in close to comfort me.
Together, we fought through the grit of life.

We’ve overcome many trials, others give up, we go on…
I see a shooting star and make my wish…

Experimented a bit with some alcohol inks and distress inks. Here are the results.

Travel Journals

I've created two journals, one places I've visited, one for places I'd like to visit someday...

Photo Journaling

I love to just grab my camera (Cool Pics) and go! Sometimes I take pics of mundane things. Thought you might like to see some of the latest. Now that I'm uploading the pictures, I feel a theme coming on! Hungry yet? ENJOY!

Challenge and Challenging...

I recently joined an on line group of artists, this is a waterstamp challenge, this technique is very challenging, but with practice, I hope to find great results. I've already tried many papers and both chunky and delicate stamps...

Collaboration

Yesterday, my husband and I celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary. We've both been drawing, painting and writing for years. We've decided to collaborate on our writing and drawing endeavors. This is an experimental piece we just finished. Using 12x12 board, distress inks, paint, matte medium, charcoal, and Prismacolor pencils. Any thoughts for a title?

Torn

Last week I made a collage for a friend, color scheme was red and black.
