i love creating small. i had things spread out all over my workroom for days, and finally narrowed it down to this one:
we couldn't send the original artwork, it needed to be in actual postcard form, so i sent my image off to the amazing folks at MOO to be printed. wow. i just got them back. how fun to open a package and see your artwork as a postcard. so sleek, so sophisticated. i'm feeling mighty...printed on glossy card stock right now. like i want to sit at the bottom of my driveway and sell them for a penny.
my son is so impressed. i think he thinks someone in new york city called me wanting to turn my art into a postcard. i'm gonna let him think that for a little while.
at any rate they are on their way to kat. can you imagine the fun she will be having. we are each (254 of us) sending her 5 postcards, which she will have to sort and mail out. what a grand undertaking. wish i could go help, just to be able to see it all.
i realized that i had reached my 100th post when i told you the tale of duffy & my shine bag. i also note in blogland that folks often love to celebrate these milestones with a gifty giveaway. i love to win things, but actually doing a giveaway is a little scary to me. what do i give? what if no one wants it? a couple weeks ago i would have gladly given duffy...but he has redeemed himself for now.
so how about this~ leave a comment on this post. on july 4th i'll put everyone in a hat and let duff pick 3 names. each winner will get one of my ultra-sophisticated postcards, signed by duffy.
happy 4th of july!!
Love the postcard. Here's hoping I'm a lucky winner.
ReplyDeleteOh Deb, I had wanted to participate in that swap, but I thought I saw that it had closed already! Is it still possible to participate? Your postcard is LUSCIOUS!! So detailed! And you know I'm a big fan of the mermaid and fishy. Yay, I get to be in your giveway! I have no doubt that I would absolutely love anything made by you. xo
ReplyDeletelove all the detail in your postcard - would love to receive one
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to win your postcard! As daughter of a mermaid (long story...) I can't help but drool seeing it! Aaahhhh.. I'm not much of a dog-person but maybe Duffy will make an exeption and pick me? After all, he's a bit 'strange' too... weird souls recognize each other, isn't it? I send you a big hug, it travels on a wave all the way to you! Have a nice day Deb (and Duff... eeck, getting slimy here?!)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I told that 'long story' on my blog today, your mermaid 'triggered' me to do so. Thanks for the inspiration dear one!
ReplyDeleteoh my not to appear greedy since I have just received some precious goodies from you...but I would Love to be in the running for your special giveaway dear Deb...your card is splendid!
