Black cat

It wouldn't be Halloween without one.

MMSA - favorite book

The theme was favorite books.

See if you can guess the book from the art (two are very easy).

From Alyssa and Currie

From Nikki and Lois

The ones I sent

Update:

I'd like to take a moment to celebrate the work of Currie, who passed away last month. I only knew her through her mail-me-some-art postcards and a few emails we exchanged, but she was always an inspiration. She was a fantastic artist, and a very positive person, even while dealing with her own health problems as well as caring for her mother who died earlier this year. Thanks for the great connection, Currie, it means a lot to me, and I will miss it.

Karen has put together a tribute over at MMSA.

MMSA 3 element paper collage

The task for this paper-based collage challenge was to only use 3 elements. This made editing easy - 3 pieces and you're done - but made choosing tough.

Here's what i sent in for the swap.

And here are ones I received from Lois M, Honi C and Leslie.

And here's the bonus I sent in for the host.

MMSA Year of the Goat

The MMSA swaps are back for 2015. The theme for the first one was Year of the Goat. I showed my tangram goat for this swap in a previous post. I used existing materials rather than getting anything new.

In from Lois M and Linda G, who made her own rubber stamp of a ram. Both cards have gold and metallic red elements which don't scan well.

Another tangram.

And more gold on Jenny's postcard.

And the final tangram sent in for the swap.
