Posting back your completed postcard

Great stuff Kym! I love the way you just get in there and put pics and blogs up! Good question about posting the postcards back! I already have one completed and posted back of mine! The other side to the addressed side has been worked on (and it looks fantastic !) the original addressed side has been left as I created it with a new stamp put over the original stamp, the original address has been painted lightly over and my address has been written on the top of this. Another alternative would be to work over the front and the back and just create a new space for the address and place a new stamp on the front. Are there any other idea's?


I also think it would be a lovely idea for each artist on completion of their postcards to sign their work or if artists are uncomfortable with having their signature exposed, simply write your name on your work.

I've been at a wonderful workshop all weekend "Layering the Landscape" with Helen Sanderson - A Brisbane based artist, It was a very stimulating and playful workshop, where I learnt a lot from Helen as well as the other participating artists. Helen was in Rockhampton to open the travelling exhibition "In Your Dreams" which is well worth looking at. See it at The Rockhampton Gallery or on Helens website: www.helensanderson.com.au

    Thanks Peta for the postcard info, the blog is starting to grow which is exciting.
    I'm only waiting on Kristin postcard now, have you received her's? I'm looking forward to starting on the postcard and sending them back.

    Helen Sanderson's workshop looks interesting on the website, did you produce any artworks yourself. Helen's website shows alot of concepts she enjoys. The artist books look great too. Have a great week,
    Chat Soon:)

    Hi Kim, I'm really enjoying the blog! as you can see by the number of posts i'm putting up....hope you like the pics from the Helen Sanderson workshop....
    I have received all the first suite of 7 postcards now...have you received Kristins now?
    I love the way the blog changes, ie the background and layout..do you do this? or does it automatically happen?
    I'm looking forward to seeing some of your work through the blog as well as on my postcards!
