Mail Art Swap

Getting my postcards ready to mail for the first swap I've done in AGES.  I'm so happy to be back into it - just another of the many perks of retirement. This swap challenge is to use paint chips (those free color sample cards you get at paint departments) on your postcards.  I'm sure that the folks at my local Home Depot now have me on a watch list because I went in the other day and literally took a huge handful. Better not go back there for a while...

She does an amazing job of hosting LOTS of swaps!

Autumn Goddess

Here is my finished doll for a swap through Milliande.  The theme was Nature/Goddess dolls.  The body is fabric, painted with acrylic paints, and gold leaf embellishment.  The hair is felted wool with pieces of raffia, beads, and feathers.
