postcards 11 & 12 & a month of squares

I am back & I have been away, well, for 2 days.

I took a birthday card away with me to open. This was sent by Robyn Gordon at Art Propelled (blogroll) from  Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa. The envelope was covered in fabulous stamps, bright tropical colors, love 'em. Robyn carves totems & panels & as they'd be a tad large to post she sent me a card of South African work, a lovely picture of the Fengu people. She was worried about only swapping art cards, but I realised that as well as receiving beautiful samples of peoples work this is also about communication, world wide communication.


I am honored to have this from so many different places, thank you.

This morning I opened my 12th postcard from Sue at Heloise (blogroll). It is riotous, an explosion of color & texture - I love it! I have oft admired her color choice, ragged edges & wild stitching & was not dissapointed. To top it all off Sue sent me my giveaway winnings! A lovely brooch with a poignant time worn feeling to it. I may frame it. I will touch them.

I am touched, thank you.





And finally, my squares. The last 6 are very late, but they're here aren't they?!



And the month of May all together, well, bar the last day.




Since starting the postcards the making squares has been more challenging. I am revelling in this challenge!
