The little birds you draw with dresses on remind me of a book called 'the peacock party'. I don't know if you've ever read it, but i've been planning to buy it on amazon for a while now as the illustrations are so cool!
Yes, that's it - the Alan Aldbridge book. I used to love it when I was little. Well i really love your stamps and use of collage with them. I think they come out really well. Im just getting into rubber stamps now - looking for vintage ones on ebay at the moment!
i completely agree, creating art is always the high point in my days, and then sending it off for someone to discover in their mailbox is the icing on the cake!!! such fun to trade with you! xox
Hey Naomi! I just thought I'd stop by and let you know I got your package yesterday and was totally blown away! I started on yours so it will be on it way soon! :) It's been a blast trading with you by the way was that a trading card on the front? It's so pretty I didn't want to tamper with it!
Hi Naomi, glad to hear from you and thanks for being a friend. I shouldn't have said I would send something today - I'll be busy with some personal stuff - sorry. I will, however, send something in the next day or so though. I love the Haiku aspect of what you are doing. Sounds like a lot of fun. Nice to meet you, Test
Okay Naomi, I managed to launch a Make-A-Wish Haiku postcard off to you - well, actually tomorrow morning it will be in the hands of the hard working and dedicated Postal Workers. Hope you like it and I'll be looking forward to your poetic response. Cheers my dear, Test
It's still a surprise to me! haha. I'm glad that it made it to you, with this crazy weather we've been getting I wasn't quite sure! It's been so fun to trade with you.. I've learned a lot and I hope as time progresses you will too! See you in the mail! :)

I've been thinking about your post regarding the hateful, racist card you received. My feelings...by posting the image and your Haiku, you proved how love/beauty/whatever-you-want-to-call-it, will always be stronger than hatred/ugliness/negativity because of its transforming nature.
Learning to draw eh? Looks like you are doing just fine... Thanks for the card! All of my mailings are on hold till July. Sorry for the delay. I have a big show coming up and I need everything I've got. I won't forget ya, promise.

I am glad to be back and closer to family they've always bee really important to me. I get times though where I miss the feel of Colorado though. It became a second home and the beauty of nature and the mountains always astounded me. I'm glad for the experience I'll never forget it but at the same time.. I've missed my family and friends! I'm glad the mail art made it to you Some stuff has been getting torn apart in transit so you never know!
