LOVE….Working Table: Mail Art

A jazzy hello Tina & friends~

I have been inspired by LOVE this week and have been creating cards with fanciful hearts on them in lieu of my postcard for the week. I started them on Sunday by painting an abstract watercolor that I then cut up and added to. My intention was to have them all written out and mailed in time for Valentine’s Day (or shortly after) as an expression of caring and gratitude for the people in my life who are both close to me and who I don’t see very often. Like most things I do they took me MUCH longer than I had anticipated! Although MOST of them are finished I would like to take the time to write thoughtful, reflective sentiments and have decided to not rush and write them a little at a time. In the meantime I thought I would share a few of them with you. Sending you a day of bright sunshine & warmth!

Tina’s Working Table Notes: I wanted to use my circle shape hand punch today and went through my trusty drawer of paper scraps.  This was a quick and random collection to see what would come together.

Laura’s Working Table Notes: Before I rush off to  ACGOW to gallery sit (1:30-5pm if you want to stop in for a visit!) I pulled out my paints and made a little time to PLAY. It has been awhile since I painted and I just enjoyed building up layers of color in this little abstract. I decided to sneak in a little dragonfly, which is part of a new series I am working on and will fill you in on soon. Can you find it hidden in the chaos?
