Valentine's Day has come and gone, and I hope everyone at least indulged in a little chocolate. I made some Valentine letters and postcards.
Look at that dirty water and that mess!
Postcards, mostly for the grands
but it was too late to send them.
Oh, well--they will work for next year.
A couple of Valentine letters--
B.E. is in love with Prim Paws, her kitten,
which gives me the excuse to use the little cat-related stamps.
I added more scrap blocks to the studio shirt, made more envelopes, wrote more letters, read more books, and worked in the garden during February. Worked in the garden? Yep, temperatures were up and down, but mostly in the 70's with several days at 80+. There were a few cold days, but even though the temps might rise or fall by 20 degrees from day to day, it was a very warm February!
And now it is March-- hope your March will bring good surprises!
Your mail art is always inspiring. Love all the hearts. How fun that one heart at the top corner of the postcard! Love that idea. Of course I'm examining the water coloring as I'm trying to teach that to myself. The postage stamps on the punched hearts are fun, that's something I have done also. Happy Mail Day, Jen! **everyday is mail day...except Sunday**
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say that I love the little peek into your play space!
DeleteThanks, Annie! I had fun with the postcards and playing with the watercolors. :) I ordered the punched postage stamp hearts on Etsy last year; when I started getting low on them, I bought a heart punch so I could make my own! Even I am appalled at the mess I can create when I get busy, but it all gets cleaned up eventually. Fresh water, fresh space. Doesn't last long, though!
DeleteI love seeing your lovely 'mess' too~ it's always inspiring to see artists' studio or work space. LOVE LOVE your artful cards.
ReplyDeleteI should take time to clean as I go, but that rarely happens. Thanks, Debra, for your sweet comment!
DeleteWhat a wonderfully productive 'mess'!
ReplyDeleteA mess, indeed. I don't have much room and just start pushing things aside. I need to organize my space a little better. :)
DeleteOh my gosh!!! These are all so fun and beautiful. A little mess is worth it for these results.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Penny! I love watching the watercolor spread over the postcards. :)
DeleteLove the Valentine mail art. Missed you at Mardi Gras!
ReplyDeleteI saw the pics--and everyone looked as if they were having a great time! Sorry to have missed Dave & Patty & Carla!
DeleteAdorable Valentine cards and letters, Jenclair. Have you written to Prim Paws? It occured to me that PP would likely appreciate mail. Glad to hear that you've been keeping busy. I have been in the yard also. Mostly of the work we've done has been heavy: cutting trees and limbs, cutting grass, preparing the garden. The weather has been warm enough and I fear that March and April will be too hot!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary! Edgar has written to Prim Paws a couple of times :) He needs to write again--thanks for the reminder. It has been a strange winter--right after writing this post, it turned cooler and we've had a good bit of rain. Hard to predict from day to day!
