I have recently discovered the world of postcard swaps. I have always seen them, but never participated. This particluar swap them was Dia de los Muertos (an old obsession of mine!). Below is what I came up with. I can't wait to see what others did! It is so much fun and gets you to do stuff that you may not have otherwise! I think you will be able to see photos of the others
here. I went to
Tesoros, one of my favorite stores for inspiration and bought the ceramic skull (great excuse anyway!)

This led to me digging out my Loteria set and making some cards. I am pleased. I think I will list them in
my etsy store as a set.

With the milder temperatures, the plants are coming out of Summer hibernation. Here are a couple of photos of some mallows in my front yard. I have never met a mallow I don't like!

Hi
your ceramic stuff is really neat. and I love your lotteria cards. I am in the dod postcard swap too. so I hope I get one of yours! I did mine in fabric, I don't know how the whole thing works, so I hope it's okay.... anyway great stuff!
oh and yes I do this full time (more than full time really!) and have been in business for about 7or 8 years.
I am an hour + from Portland, and I have noticed a ton of art/craft people from there. it's a great city. but I don't know anyone yet...I just moved here a year ago.

OK, I am thinking that between Kristin (kml) you + I we need to do a little side postcard swap- yours are so good too. I did not know that you had a blog + discovered it on Kristin's sidebar links + when you left a comment on mine. We actually hearted eachother on Etsy awhile ago. Well, I'm Shona + it's nice to find you again!
i love everything! the new day of the dead stuff is great :)
