Carte Postale- Part One




I have been working
on my new series..
Carte Postale

and I am putting the finishing touches








on some of the larger pieces..










I was not satisfied with mounting them
on paper
and decided to put them on cradled boards 
which pleased me
and gave me an opportunity to add 
even more texture..













 this series began as I was going through
old post cards and stamps and was
graciously given
a lot of wonderful old stamps
by my friend Jeanne...










it is so seldom, 
that we receive a post card
anymore...








often a business will send them out..
but the old 
romantic thought of sending a post card 
has 
mostly fallen out of favor








a post card

was once a winged thought..
a desire to share an experience..
and wish that a special someone could share in the joy
of the sight...
the discovery...
the pleasure..
















Part Two
will be here next week

and then...
titles..
hardware... 
shipping..
and show time...



ciao, ciao!
