Bird postcards

Finally got a bit inspired by a swap on Mail Me Some Art - bird postcards. Had some unattractive gelli printed cards so drew birds on them and colored with oil pastels. Much better. I like the way the paint specs from my filthy gelli plate show thru.

  1. Love these! You are so inspiring in how you salvage your "ugly" (not really) prints... I have that whole pile still... LOL

  4. The specks make the postcards look very old, like a wall you'd find in ancient Rome or Greece. The oil pastels lend to it as well because they let the specks show through. Plus they're so fun to use.

  5. great combination of materials and techniques. Agree with Barbara that the background looks like an old wall. Very cool.
