The postcard swap iHanna is running is in full swing! I got my postcard list today, and I’m ready to go. Here are the postcards I made, grouped by color or subject.
I made two predominantly red postcards. Red is way out of my comfort zone for me, I own no clothing or shoes in red. So I had to try it. Watercolor and pen.
Then I made three pears, also in watercolor and when I got tired of pears, I resorted to a horned toad, because one of the names I got was in Switzerland and they probably haven’t seen one of those.
Finally, I did a words-and-image with feathers and, of course, to complete the group, a bird. All of them are watercolors–the Brusho dye colors I wrote about earlier. I’m loving this medium for its unpredictability. Hope they travel well!
If you’ve counted, you’ll see there are nine and 10 are needed for the swap. I have another pear and another feather, but there was going to be too much of a good thing. Can’t wait to see the other postcards! (You can get a sneak peek here).

The reds are wonderful, You own them!
That capsicum is going into my salad fro lunch if you son’t post it quick smart.
I eat red peppers like other people eat apples. And this was a fat, crunchy one! It just wanted to be watercolored.
Beautiful mix of soft and vibrant colours. Especially love your feathers with Emily Dickinson. Happy December 🙂
Thanks–I liked the way they turned out, too.
These DO cheer me up indeed! Your postcards rock Quinn, and I feel grateful that you wanted to join once more. It’s so fun to see your artwork.
Thanks, Hanna. I love pushing myself for the postcard challenge. These are not colors I would ever use, but I had fun making every one of them!
Wonderful paint effect!
Thanks! I, whose favorite colors are gray and beige, love these intense colors!
