tried to use acrylic colors on cards …
They’re called:
- the eye - we have to look and see, otherwise strange things can happen
- the blue marble
- in the end, you can’t stop a beating heart

I make a lot of Mailart envelopes and recently opened an Instagram account for them which will be added to twice a week. It will also include postcards now that I’ve joined postcrossing. Here’s an example of my Mailart and if you wish to see more please use the following Instagram handle @this_wheelie_is_art
Thanks for reading - Question, would you be happy receiving an envelope or postcard decorated like this?

I am a postcards’ self-made lover and now and then I send post crossers this kind of art, whenever it is solicited. I am glad to have found on this community that you are inviting people to showing one’s handmade postcards. But one question emerges: what have I to do and show this artistic trend? Please give me an idea to reach this goal. I am absolutely new on the forum with short activity and manipulating new technologies for me is quite difficult. I usually say I belong to another generation dealing with other kind of tools. Anyway, if you clarify me on this post, that should be great. But ,please, don’t do more than you can and if you can. Kind regards, Francisco Lima from Portugal.

Hopefully someone in the nursing home with you can show you how to do it. In the meantime, are these the two you were mentioning? They’re lovely, if these are the ones you made.

My woven handmade cards reached their recipients in Handmade RR
It’s a quite meditative process and once I figured out the best technique and how is best to hide the knots, I just continued to making this one

Steckt da ein echter Teebeutel drin? Sieht schön aus! 
In English: Is there a real teabag insides? It looks beautiful.
Yes, there are two real teabags insided the coffee mug. Earl Grey and green tea. Haven’t tried any of these yet and think I might leave them untouched, as they are part of the art for me…
Though the green tea is with elderflower taste - I’m curious to see what it’s like!
