Another postcard exchange was to come up with an abstract. So, just turning 50 I thought why not do the abstract on objects that are in my life up to this point. Ice cream is number one. My first car was a green Volskwagen Beatle, Red purse and hat for turning 50 (Red Hat lady) Window is for the future and past. The background fabric is waves / water because I would rather be on the water than land.

Deep Blue Sea

This is a postcard I had to make for a Deep Blue Sea exchange. No fish or sea creatures. I put tiny sea shells from Cape Hatteras, NC that I had gathered up in Dec 07 while on vacation. The fabric is blue silk that has been folded and stitched w/ blue and greet lame' to represent waves and movement. I then stamped a light house over top this and it gave a kind of foggy/ distant look and finlly stitched different trims to represent seaweeds.
