Incoming mail from Norma Soulet. A mixed media 'Gelli' print postcard featuring a vintage-inspired image (die-cut) of a young girl! Thanks, Norma!

Hi @Crystal S! I'd like one of your collage sheets. Thank You! Oh, and I just mailed something out to you today.

I have been creating collage sheets with vintage materials that I have collected over the years. I would love to share them! Let me know if you would like some!

I cannot tell you anything about this illustration. I searched for vintage on a free database website and found this gorgeous lady. I cannot detect anything about the handwriting, except that it looks very old....

Is anyone interested in swapping art with me? I have lots of free time now because of coronavirus.
