I'm lucky to be in the Muse mail art group with great artists!

My job, to send a postcard to the next artist on my list monthly.

In that month! Did I mention that I procrastinate? I do.

procr..a.s..t..i..n..ate

And I digress. It's June 30th, I am now working on a postcard.

Not a regular postcard, but a stamp-person postcard.

Terry has said he likes the stamp-people, so that's my goal.

And, I am double dipping, scanning a step-by-step as I go.

Here goes ...

step 1

This is a recycled box, heavy cardboard. I like the color.

step 2

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

I chose a Sarah Vaughn stamp & her music above, 

step 3 -5

... then added black newsprint to start.

step 6 - 10

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

step 11-15

Cool socks & part of Sarah's ensemble.

step 16 -18

A start on hands & a dress.

step 19 - 21

More hands & more dress detail.

step 22 - 24

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

step 25 - 29

Dress, pockets & trim, nearly done.

step 30

Add marker & done? Not yet.

step 31

A touch of white marker. Done.

Now a postcard has two sides, right?

 I like to add to the address side.

step 1 -2

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

 

but I do it anyway.

This is ready to address & get to the PO ...

while it's still technically June?

Off to Terry in Minnesota!

A smile for Saturday ...
