"Sarah" Step-by-step postcard 

 When working on a postcard, not a regular postcard, but a stamp-person postcard, it is more difficult to exaggerate the scale in such a limited space. Here goes ...

1.
This is a cut down recycled box, heavy cardboard. 

I like the color.

2.

Old newsprint, a glue stick & a brayer ... on my way.


3.

I chose a Sarah Vaughn stamp & her music above,


3 - 5

I added black newsprint to start.


6-10

I wanted to make sure I could fit in shoes, plus another arm.


11 - 15.

Cool socks & part of Sarah's ensemble.


16 --18.

A start on hands & a dress.

19 - 21.

More hands & more dress detail. Polka dots, yea!


22 - 24.

I always intended to use this red, just now got to it.


25 -29.

Dress, pockets & trim, nearly done.


30.

Add marker & done? Not yet.


31.

A touch of white marker, and DONE!

Maybe overkill, but I was having fun!



A postcard has two sides, right?
 I like to add a small collage to the address side.


1 - 2.


WW thinks this it's silly, a waste of time,




but I do it anyway.
Ready to address & get to the PO ...
