Pralines and international stamps!

Hello readers! It has been a while since I actually posted something I have done. I have become a postcard lover in the last few months and have joined the website postcrossing where I receive an address from somewhere around the world and send a postcard, when simultaneously, someone else around the world gets my address and sends me a postcard. Today is an extra special day because I received 2 postcards! One is from Bulgaria (a beautiful city scape of Stara Zagora) and the other from Belgium (YUMMY famous Belgian Pralines!)

Two more postcards!

Here are 2 more postcards I have been working on. TONIGHT IS THE LAST NIGHT I WORK ON COLOR...(insert creepy smile)... I had to tell my teacher that I sent a few of my projects away and she seemed to "understand". She really just laughed at me. Whatever, I am an artist, I do weird stuff. The best part about ending color class is that I am making a GIANT cupcake - cake for class on Thursday with multi-colored frosting! SO EXCITING!

Still on the topic of postcards, Tsuts got her postcard and apparently it made her day. What can I say? Its what I do.

Postcards

I have had a bit of trouble concentrating in my color class. I really just don't care (even though I know I should). I seem to just be bored in the class and try to finish projects as soon as possible or put them off and deal with them last minute... and it shows. So I decided that instead, I would make my projects for friends and people I care about. This seems to be helping since I know it is a "gift". These are two "free studies" that I have turned into postcards. The orange one is for Sarah in North Carolina and the blue one is for Natalie in Brooklyn. They are my closest friends from my program in Denmark and we have been corresponding via postcards (a form of communication we fell in love with while being abroad). Hopefully my teacher won't mind that I am sending my project in the mail before I actually turn it in for a grade (she is getting a scanned copy...eek!) I also hope Sarah and Natalie don't read this blog post until after they receive these via snail mail.
