I woke up at 0300 hrs this morning and I tried to lie down again but I got up to see who had sent me a text message. It was from my daughter of course! We had a good chat and a plan was made for me to go south to see the family on Tuesday.
I wanted to take this time to do some art. It was my intention to get quite a bit done on the postcards for the next postcard challenge that is about to begin. I don't really have much to show for myself yet but these to pictures.
The first is a drawing of a male face that I found in a recycled art journal that I started some time ago. I just liked the green and blue colour and finally after looking at it for a time; I saw what looked like a face. I just followed the lines and this face formed. Fun! Not a lot of effort but fun nevertheless!
I hope that it isn't similar to the face that was found in the toast. It isn't meant to be anything serious, it as just kinda cool to actually see something on a gessoed page that was just plastered with leftover paint.
The next picture is a postcard that I am making for a friend who has cancer! I thought I would do up a "thinking of you" card. Just because - just because I can!
It is a mixed media piece using a re-cycled mail card that I keep getting in the mail.I gessoed it too and slapped on some paint. Then I doodled on it with a Sharpie. Cut out some images from magazine pages along with some text that I hope she takes as a positive message. There is also one piece of a National Geographic that I had treated with CitraSolv for it didn't really cut through the ink (I must assume that I didn't apply enough liquid to the paper). I will pop this into a gift wrap envelope that I have cut yet and mail it out on Tuesday before I head to Toronto.
