ihanna's Postcard Swap Update

-
It's always sad when the last postcard arrives.  I got all 10 rather quickly this year.  I wanted to share them all with you.

It always amazes me how different they all are.  The cards on the right are from Jenny Pesavento in Colorado Springs,Liven Geelmuyden in Norway, Kit Wojcik in Long Lake Minnesota, Jeane Sliney from Duluth Minnesota and Charlotte in Sweden.

One thing you can't see in the photo is the back of Jenny's card.  It has a little pouch with a secret message.  Such a cute idea.  Charlotte  put two cards in a large envelope.  Double surprise.

Nancy actually painted 4 cards then cut them apart into smaller cards.  Jeane used a piece of corrugated cardboard for hers.  All very original. 

On the left, postcards from Linda Hartzig in Gastonia North Carolina, Eleaca Young in Cantwell Alaska and sally-Ann Garret on the Isle of Wight in the UK.

I must apologize to Eleaca for not sending a thank you.  You didn't give me an email address.  I do love the card with my morning coffee. 

Linda's card is the first I've ever received made entirely of fabric.  It's appliqued and quilt stitched.  Sally's card was the largest.  I love them all.  Thank you so much.

Thank you ihanna for hosting another great postcard swap.  I do look forward to this each year.

Hugs to all, thanks for visiting.

PS:  I found Eleaca's website, finally got to thank her for the cute card.

My work starts with the walk thru the gardens, mine, my neighborhood and local trails and parks.  Lately I've had time to walk Fort Vancouver Historic Reserve and their Heritage Garden.  Lots of great photos to work with.


And ends up in a doodled photograph.  These are my most recent work.  

Check my Coming Events page for info where to see my work.  
Thanks for visiting.

Recent Commission work

-

A slow time of year, and a lack of motivation gives me some time to update my blog.   I thought I'd start with some of my recent commissioned pieces.   A little of everything.  Family pets, favorite hiking location, new home, personal photos and some inspiration.  

And some new work, this time of year is good for stocking up while I have time.  Doing the things that take more time, like the recycled candlestick birdhouses, and the collage frames.  Also trying a new way to present my work, and always a new freehand drawn doodle.

 The last few weeks have brought freezing temperatures, snow, lots of rain and some flooding in the area.  I'm done with winter now, ready for those spring blooms.  I need out. 

If you are interested in my newest work I always post on She Who Doodles on Facebook.  I'll be updating my event page shortly.  Check back often, this time of year I'm just lining up my event dates, still more to come.

Time for Fritz and I to have a walk since it's…

Rain/Snow/Rain and more snow

So it's been indoor weather long enough now.  On my last walk I saw a few things trying to bloom. 

After finishing my closet door flower doodles I continued the idea on to some canvas.  I've got one more primed and just waiting for that touch of color. 


I've been experimenting with layers of paint on the canvas a little different then I've done before and I really like the outcome.  It's a layer of splashes of color with a white wash over the entire canvas then lifting paint with a sheet of wax paper.  Wish I could figure how to do a whole wall like this. 




Here's a pic of the canvas before the flowers were added.







Fun project, this is the only time of year I get to play, soon the art fair season will get started and no time. 


Go do something creative.
