Following on from the 4" x 6" swap
organised by the Brooklyn Art Library,
some of us Gauche gals decided to
swap postcards among ourselves.
We used Swap-Bot and didn't know the
identity of our recipient until the day
before it had to be sent off.
I was 'given'
to send to which I was pleased
about because she likes vintage
looking artwork. I had made this butterfly
postcard for the swap and hoped
that she would like it.
I sent it in this Mail Art envelope.
Marilyn received it, posted about it on
Facebook and she seemed pretty happy :o)

Now, I received this postcard from
How cool is this?!
I LOVE the textures, colours
and the way Jenn has done the wording.
Clever, yes?
I am VERY happy with my 4x6,
thank you so much Jenn :o)

Both are just lovely. How serendipitous of you to get Marilyn and what a perfect postcard for her :)
Am just chuckling at your comments over there about 'that' book. Must admit I am not in the slightest tempted!

So glad you liked the 4x6 you received--it was fun to do such a small project and then send it out into the world :)

I particularly love the butterfly image Jo. I must like art with a vintage flavour.

I love the one you made, and the one you got! On yours, I just love the background, and the butterfly turned out so well. Is it a transfer?

This is a really fab post card! I am sure your recipient loved it. Even the envy is wonderful!
Jennifer's art is amazing as well.
Hugs,
