These are actually altered postcards; I had received one or two postcards which were either duplicates of one I had received before, or too similar to another building in the same city. So now I will attach card stock to the backs, write a note, stamp it and send them off! I recycled mesh from a lemon bag and pink paper from a bouquet, and used cancelled postage stamps, rubber stamping, Japanese rice papers, thread, Silver and Gold Leaf Pen, Golden Bead Gel, blue mica chips, acrylic paints, and tissue paper.

This is an unfinished project; it's collage on deliwrap paper and acrylic paints. The collage includes printed tissue, book pages, cording, torn handkerchiefs, torn heart doily, red flower netting, Japanese rice papers, and paint stained paper towels. It will be the background for further adornment!
Come see my latest postcards I've received on Postcards Buffet!
Love your textures. Let me know if you want to exchange mail art sometime.
