The Hanna Post Cards!





This will be the fourth year that I have participated in IHanna's postcard swap. http://www.ihanna.nu It is a fun little exchange that she puts on a couple of times a year. Not only do you create lovely little pieces of art to give away, but you receive sweet bits of art in the mail, as well. In previous years I have worked in watercolour, but this year I thought that I would play with a little bit of collage. The next swap takes place in late winter/early spring and it is a nice way to meet other artists from around the planet.

      Thank you, Leada. I think that Ihanna's swap is a nice way to send little bits of art out into the world! It is like sending a bit of yourself away over the miles, and connect with another who enjoys creating as well. Hope you have enjoyed it.
