iHanna Postcard Swap

Each day, I read LOTS of blog posts and during this process, I found a great blog called iHanna.  She talks about lots of great crafty things and recently organized a handmade postcard swap (look at some of the postcards here).  It sounded like fun so I thought I would give it a try.  I was randomly assigned 10 people to mail postcards to.  Let me show you what I've been working on!

I decided to try something new for these, so I did ink illustrations and painted them with watercolor.  I stuck with my signature birdies:

I'm a little nervous about mailing watercolors, but I sprayed all of the postcards with sealer, so hopefully that will keep them safe.  I'm flying blind here, so we'll see what happens.

Here are some finished pictures of all of the birds.  I tried going for a less realistic image and more stylized.   I'm happy with most of them, although my dark-eyed junco looks a bit like a penguin.
