Mailable Art Postcards

watercolour, coloured pencil, reused paper (tissue, lunch bag, newspaper)

Frog Three Ways

My 5-year old nephew assigned me the theme "frog" for my Mailable Art Postcards.

I came up with the following three postcards for him.  

Apparently he his hoarding them as special treasures and won't let anyone else see them.

The dragonfly was speedily flying around the pond when, SPLAT!  

A large sticky pink tongue yanked it into a dark cave.  YUM, croaked the frog.

 The water ripples and two large eyes emerge from the surface; staring at me.

The cattails grow thick at the waters edge.  Two eyes glow through the darkness of the reeds. 

A deep, roaring rib-bit breaks the silence.  The frogs are singing to me.

(The next assigned theme is bugs.)

Mailable Art

This is the prototype for my new project, Mailable Art.  It went through the US postal system with flying colours.  (There was some florescent orange lines on the front, but since I used a varnish they came right off with a wet finger.)

Mailable Art is hand made mini-art in a postcard form; no two postcards are alike.

No one likes to get only bills and junk mail; Mailable Art adds a smile to someone's mailbox. 

I'll post examples latter on (once they are created).
