MMSA Type styles

For this MMSA challenge postcards had to include 4 different styles of type. Can you identify the ones I used?

And here are the great cards in from Andrea, Ellen, Lynne and Wanda.

MMSA sticker mania

This challenge required creating art using predominantly stickers - birds from Charley Harper, and insects from Christopher Morley.

The ones I sent in for the swap, plus one for the host.

And the ones that came in from Ellen, Faith, Honi and Constance.

Eyes!

The chickens are here

MMSA 'All things chicken' postcards arrived...

From Ellen and Dorothea

From Joyce and Honi.

Joyce's card was one of the post office's pre-stamped tree cards. And I enjoyed the chicken on the address label Honi printed.

Update:

As Eva commented below, I also thought this was a great topic for creating art postcards - quirky enough to get some interesting art submitted, and broad enough to give anyone a lot of options. I thought people unfamiliar with MMSA might like to see the rest of the chickens. So here they are:

My submissions, with theme-related envelope.

Chickens part 1

Chickens part 2

Chickens part 3

MMSA Reigning cats & dogs received

Part of a big mail day, these MMSA swap cards arrived.

From Davida, Ellen, Joyce and Patti.

MMSA stencil cards received

This was a really interesting challenge, with varied interpretations.

The first one is from Veebee. She wrote that this didn't turn out as 'stencilled' as she wanted, but I think it is fascinating. An interesting background, and there are lots of small details that aren't apparent at first glance (and are hard to appreciate from a scan), like the cut out O in dolls that is filled with glitter.

A more traditional style from  Mary (top) that has stencils applied to shimmery paper, also hard to appreciate in a scan. And a simple, very attractive single stencil from Ellen onto collaged words, Shakespeare, I think, below.

This fantastic peacock from Ellen is another one that needs to be appreciated in person because of the raised texture. For some reason it took 4 days longer to arrive than the others. This card arrived on a particularly good mail day; the rest will be shown over the next couple of days.

MMSA Stamp Heads received
