Well, here I am. I'm not quite sure what to do now. I don't even know how to fill out my profile, but I'll learn. :-)

So, my name is Prairie Kittin. I am on Flickr, deviantART, swap-bot, and a few other places. Apparently I have a web presence. LOL!

I've been doing art my whole life. I think I was born with a pencil in my hand! :-)

I'm a 57 year old Grandma. I'm a biker who rides her own bike. I'm eclectic in a lot of my beliefs, but it all boils down to the fact…

Hand made stamps

Hello all.

Grrrrrrrrrr! How can I be expected to send Mail Art to people who DON'T....

...provide a postal address in their Profile Information?

Not being psychic, I can't.

Grrrrrrrr! It's a drag having to ask people for their snail mail address. And/or dig around in their web-site to (try and) find it.

If y'all want some Mail Art then surely you're going to give your postal address?

My New Return-Mail-Art Policy from now on is that if you don't provide me with your address on what you send me and/or in your Profile…

Blogging for Jesus!!!

Received this gorgeous piece from Amy Morton. This is a print from a negative of a leaf buried in snow. The texture appears chalk like, but deceptive as it is a photo. this from Picadilly Post--an ink transfer from transparency paper and an actual eggshell. I think this qualifies it as trashpo. this is from a series of similarly beautiful pieces posted at her blog…
