I send a postcard to every person who takes one of my classes.

A hand made postcard, and I am behind in sending to 

the last class on March 7th. Taxes and stuff got in the way.

I use a 4x6' Strathmore Mixed Media postcard.

step 1

I like text but usually use it sideways or upside down.

And, I prefer a torn edge. 

 

step 2

I save too much stuff. I have magazines and all kinds of papers.

step 3

I don't usually use metallics, but this one seemed to fit.

step  4

Sometimes edges align and it strengthens the composition.

 

step 5

It was a little too balanced, but the 5th piece made it work. 

Done.

step  6

A small collage on the address side, because it's fun.

Ready to address, stamp and mail. 

I like this one. Maybe because it happened easily.

They don't always, and sometimes I add too much.

It's definitely an audition process.

"Overheard on the Titanic" by Austin Kleon

Austin Kleon is a smart, funny guy. An artist, author & Dad.

I follow and look forward to his Friday blog here.

He is getting ready to go on a 25 day book tour 

for his newest book, Keep Going ...

A guide to staying creative in good times and bad.

 

He offered the above print free to those who pre-order by April 1st. 

 

details:

Step 1: Pre-order the book anywhere books are sold before midnight on April 1. (EST.) If you can, support your local indie! Buying online at places like Amazon or B&N is great, too. If you want a signed copy, order from Bookpeople — they ship everywhere! Wherever you buy, save your receipt.

Step 2: Fill out this form, and follow all the instructions. (Overseas friends: you can still get a free print, but it has to be shipped to an address in the United States.)
