urban postcard art exchange - round 2

[spanglechick]

i've not finished yours yet.

spangles, did you take a pic of yours? fire it across and i'll stick it up.

(i'm not harvesting likes, honest...)

As in, the one I made and sent to blossie?

 

[killer b]

i told blossie to email me the card she'd recieved so i could stick it up, but spangles did instead and i thought the email was from blossie. i'll edit to avoid any further confusion...

 

[killer b]

As in, the one I made and sent to blossie?

yes!

 

[spanglechick]

Have done so.

 

[killer b]

sent by spangles, recieved by blossie

 

[spanglechick]

Thanks killer b!

 

[cesare]

Cool drips, Spangles. Is it coloured sealing wax?

 

[spanglechick]

Nail varnish.

 

[cesare]

Clever! Very effective, isn't it!

 

[spanglechick]

I love the different thicknesses. The clear stuff, which looks the darkest, was really water-thin.

 

[cesare]

Did it takes ages to dry before you sent it? (I'm thinking the thickest parts, obv )

 

[Onket]

That's mine! I'm really surprised it got there in one piece/ got there at all with all the franks on it.
I liked the idea that it would camouflage in the post.

Onket- do you think the one you made will survive being in the post? It looks strangely robust yet delicate...

Well, it's been 2 weeks since I sent it, so I spose not! Will do something else this weekend to send north of the border.

The owl was mine

 

[killer b]

You're proper talented weeps. Nice one.

 

[Greebo]

Right, seeing as a wrong un in Ashford seems to have got the postcard instead of the urbanite who was supposed to get it, there'll be another one in the post first thing on Monday.

View attachment 23479 Finally got round to posting up the one I received. Top quality work imo

Ithengqueue!
TBF, the "watercolour" postcards I bought held the ink even better than I hoped (thanks for the suggestion, killer b!), then it was just a case of adding the few spots of colour.

Reminds me of my barmy art teacher raving on about how important impasto is.

 

[ViolentPanda]

The owl was mine

The owl looks like it's scolding me.

Is it?

 

[foamy]

The owl was mine

Do you do commissions? I'd love an owl!

 

[equationgirl]

I don't know if mine got there or not, I've not seen it on the this thread yet. I hope it did.

 

[killer b]

foamy got this one?

 

[spanglechick]

Did it takes ages to dry before you sent it? (I'm thinking the thickest parts, obv )

A day or so, yes.

 

[Greebo]

This one is assumed lost

 

[Sweet FA]

I think mine have gone west from the first round

 

[Miss Caphat]

ok...so, when does the next round start?

 

[killer b]

think there's still a few to be posted / recieved this round... i've been preoccupied with something else so haven't got round to hounding anyone yet, but will do either tonight or tomorrow. think we could do with starting it soon though - that way the next round will finish in time for a christmas special edition to follow on...

 

[crustychick]

mine has *just* been sent (sorry) and it's got a bit of a way to go but it should hopefully be there soon!

I'm sorry. My initial effort going missing in the post has kind of messed me up on this. I have an idea for a replacement but haven't had time to do it yet.

I'm up for the next one...
