It's very special.....



Below is Lindesay's finished round one postcard, the theme is "Art Lovers Flock to Show"



.......to receive postcards in the mailbox from round one! I don't look at them until I have time to sit and explore every little wonderous and important detail! I've also received some new round two postcards! It seems that almost everyone has had a busy couple of months and are therefore still completing their round one postcards as well as getting their round two set ready. It's to be expected that there will be times when other things in life take over from arty pursuits! Just go with the flow and keep enjoying what you are doing, from the finished postcards I have seen you are all a very talented lot with creativity in abundance! Each and every postcard is a little unique piece of art!

Shelly from England expressed some concerns about whether any of her first set of postcards have gone astray in the mail between GB and Oz. To keep each other up to date, I strongly suggest that we keep in email contact with each of the members in our group to let people know when we send or receive postcards. It could also be a good idea to put your return address on any postcard you send out, even if it is written quite small.

I've included a couple of pics of the postcards that I did for round one, hope all the receiving artists liked them as much as I enjoyed doing them!


Happy creating, Peta Here is the front of Lindesay's postcard, I just loved the movement in this picture of a woman running. I placed an OHT of some grafitti on a train I photographed in Rocky last year, underneath the running woman and tucked a peacock feather under her coat. If youlook closely you can see the reflection of my camera in the shiny surface of the OHT!

    Peta, I love the peacock feather (my favourite bird) & would never have noticed the reflection of your camera if you hadn't pointed it out - looks great, Olley.

    Thanks Olley! You must have been looking at the blog at the same time I posted it! I'll bring some peacock feathers to Bilo with me!
