Watery arts from Svenja Wahl

The first shows polar bears that were among old book pages depicting animals that I'd sent to Svenja. She sent this photo back after giving it a wonderful context, on a painted book cover:

She says "These guys indicated to travel right back to you--couldn't do anything against it." Who knew they'd talk?? I hope they aren't telling SECRETS, Svenja.

Separately Svenja sent her first attempt at linocut, which I would call a smashing success--printed on a topical card:

Svenja says her linocut swimmer is "knocking her head." Poor thing. Thanks very much, Svenja, I love both ~

KDJ: they look nice these flowers, don't they? You can get any value of stamps with these flowers.

Thank you all :-))
