A DIY Post Card Swap

Posted on Feb 13, 2010 in Events and Experiences | 8 comments

I participated a postcard swap put together by Hanna of ihanna’s blog.  I am not much of an artist but wanted to take on the challenge, it happens to be one of my New Year’s Resolution for 2010 – learn something new and fearless crafting.  It is good sometimes to leave your comfort zone and try something different.  After all we are a community of crafters who embraces each others uniqueness.  I must admit, I had some difficulty which brought on another resolve – take an art class or something.   It is a Valentine’s Day theme and in that spirit, I am sharing it here with you.  I love fairy tales, prince charmings,  castles…….who doesn’t right?  The collages on these post card are from an old children’s book which I also collect.  On each card I wrote a quotation from Marcel Proust ” Happiness is beneficial to the body, but it is grief that develops the power of the mind.”  How true is that?  I also believed that the holes in our hearts can be healed by believing in magic and always maintain an attitude which is that of a child.
