Shared Art Postcards

Happy October!  My favorite month!

Here are all of my mastersheet shared art postcards. I haven't heard if anyone has received theirs yet....so they may be getting a little preview. The lower right one is mine....and it wasn't quite finished when I took this photo but I wanted to get the others in the mail earlier this week.  I posted my finished postcard yesterday. 

This is the one I sent to Becky.  She and I share a little history with Geninne Zlatkis, the artist who painted this bird.  And the little tiny colored circles are actually from one of Becky's coloring pages she gave me when I was visiting a few years ago.  

Becky's coloring sheet.

This is Tracie's.  I probably took the "robin" theme a little too literally....the sheet music was Irving Berlin's "When the Red Red Robin Comes Bob Bobbin Along." And I had to get a pop of purple in there....it's the color most celebrated in Tracie's household. The "definitely not perfect" on the left is her handwriting from a note she sent me with one of her art pieces and the brown scallops are from  Hallmark bag.  Yes, I save everything!

And this is Brenda's.  I ended up being quite fond of the geometrics of this one.  Most of the orange cutouts are from a calendar by an artist I admire...Susan Black. Brenda's got a little bird too....one of the black and white ones from Connie's calendar. 

Since I turned them into postcards....I was wondering how I would deal with the back. Rather than add another layer of paper....I painted a layer of gesso on the back and created large labels.  We'll see how they do in the mail. 

I can't wait to see what everyone else came up with....I'm expecting them all sometime next week. So stay tuned....and I wonder what's next!
