Tina’s Working Table Notes: I did a major clean up of the studio this week and finally cleaned out all my paper drawers.  In the process I did not take a picture of this mess as I was creating this postcard.  At least I have the final picture.  The materials were simply what I had found interesting during the clean and then quickly assembled them.  The swiftness of this postcard was a joy.  I wish all my work was like this.  This week it goes out to the Mail Carrier.  I wonder if my regular Mail Carrier will look at it or just throw it in the pile for the next person.  I have no idea where this one will end up!

Laura’s Working Table Notes: Interestingly enough I cannot find the pictures I took of my studio table while I was working (weird that Tina doesn’t have hers either!). What you would have seen was an array of paper towels scattered about which I used to blot my paintbrush throughout the day. I heard somewhere that if you glued the paper towel down it would become translucent so I decided to try it and loved the texture. I then layered the wine bottles using several stencils I cut out.
