iHanna DIY Post Card Wrap Up.

Looks like my total this time for #diypostcardswap for May 2018 will only be 8/10 although I was lucky enough to receive a bonus from a special friend.  Hi Tammy :)  I was not on her list.

So here are the cards I received this time around.  I have done this swap twice a year for several years now.

#1 From Judy Hazlett, Townville PA

 

#2 From Debbie, California.

#3 from Annika  a delicious collage

#4 from Kelli, Nevada City, CA

#5 from Quinn in Pheonix Arizona

#6 from Rachel in Waco Texas

#7 from Sarah in Slovenia.  A peacock's tail.

#8 from Katie Burke.  Another lovely collage.

#Bonus for the lovely Tammy Ham.  We have been friends for a long time and she does wonderful work.  This set was assisted by her dear Mother.  Thank you both.

 And so that's a wrap from the 2018 iHanna Spring Swap.

iHanna Post Card Swap.

Twice a year this large international post card swap is hosted by Hanna http://www.ihanna.nu/postcard-swap/ The swap call for 10 hand made postcards to be made and ready to send when you receive your 10 addresses.   You sign up, pay a small admin fee, make your cards and wait for your addresses.  There is a date set for when you are required to finish your mail outs.

I have done this twice a year for a number of years now and I really enjoy receiving little pieces of art from around the globe.

Hanna has an Instagram page for displaying the cards under the hashtag #diypostcardswap but as I don't have an IG account I just post mine to my FB page with the hashtag.

So this round is done and dusted and I am just waiting to get my addresses, anytime after tomorrow and then wait expectantly for the beautiful artwork to arrive in my letterbox.

These are my cards for this round.  Some are duplicated.

Recent Art Adventures.

Currently after a long break I am making art again.  I am so happy to be back at it.  Illness does make life difficult.

As I am a creature who loves to do prompts....(no imagination)...this year I undertook to play along with Documented Life Project , Journal 52 with the lovely Chelle Stein  with the amazing Tammy Garcia.

As well I like to do swaps.  I have just participated with a swap with Hanna at http://www.ihanna.nu/ 
and with Shannon Ganshorn musingsonrealities
So now I would love to share some of my most recent work with you.  Anybody there?? :)

ihanna swap.  I make 10 post cards, enrol and Hanna sends me 10 international addresses.  I send mine off to four corners of the world and sit back and wait for the postman call with his loads of gorgeousness!

My Cards for the swap:

From Lynne, Pheonix, Az.

And just look at this stunner from Tanya....whoops....I have all her detai;ls except her address.  This was so darling that I didn't want to undo it but of course I had to. And look at that sweet little tag!

I have only received the two so far, so I am looking forward to more.

My adventure with Rae Missingham has just begun.  I am surprised that having so much fun is not illegal.  I have never done anything like this before.  The 12 Tags of Christmas.  Here are my first three.  So much fun!!

 No 1

 No 2

No 3

Last but not least for today a couple of pages in my Journal 52 project.  I am behind but with my mornings happening I am trying to play catch ups.

Hopefully I get some readership.  Doesn't really matter because I guess this is mainly for my satisfaction But I really hope to be inspired to continue regularly.
