i miscounted

i didnt see that last address....so tonight, i was in a mad dash to make one last postacard for the

hula seventy summer post card swap.

postcards-a-swappin'

my inspiration was bright, sunny, and funfunfun.
which is alot of what i had making these.
even though i found myself on a tight deadline (that i didnt even make) i still pushed myself to be creative.
and THAT ended up meaning i didnt have time to fuss and plan ahead.
which is a great lesson that i learned in this process.

just let go.

and now...i need to let these go...to the mailbox.

i am supposed to be making postcards.

this one is self explanatory

this one is something new i am doing.
different fabric. different stitching. different paper.
they can be vertical or horizontal.
they can be a baby announcement or a wedding announcement.
a thank you card or a birthday card.
this one is a fathers day card.

but they are always simple.

happy bday lil sis

don't worry, you won't break the octopus' arms (not tentacles!) when you fold the card.
invertebrates rule.

crap into crap with flowers

i found an old medicine cabinet in the garbage in front of my old koreatown apt and i had to have it...i had dreams of painting it or spiffying it up in some uncertain manner.
matt said this would be yet another thing that i would never get to...
he was right, it moved from la with us and has sat propped against a wall in the spare bedroom of our new home in austin, for the 6+ months we have lived here...
but b/c of the recent addition (very recent, last tuesday) of crafty tuesday, this has started to shape into what i had hoped...well, it isnt done or anything, but it isnt the same old bare cabinet...unfortunately i did not take a pic of this before i started...but i trust you have an imagination...
i started by completely covering it with old newspaper using mod podge. then cutting our all different shades of brown and began creating the tree. then...


i cut out circles in different shades of pink to make blossom of some sort...this tree isnt real, so i get to do whatever i want...and then i found a little birdie...so i glued his feathery ass into my paper blossomy tree. then...


i cut out more blossomy circle thingys and glued away...i then outlined them with some red, to make 'em pop.

it isnt done...i think i maybe want to use some tea to age the newspaper, give a nice brown/yellow tinge. i havent ever done it, so, i am not sure if this is something i should have done previous to the glueing...but hell, maybe i want to paint it all blue, leaving some newspaer outline arount the tree...then, i think i want to add a branch the extends horizontally to the right, to even the tree out-it seems a little heavy on the left...then i will paint the bird, he got lost in the blossoms i think, so some crazy colors to make him stand out...
tomorrow is tuesday, my ladies will help me do some brainstorming...
