"Party" – Postcard

This week’s Sunday Postcard Art challenge was “Party.”

I wanted to make something with a lot of confetti and streamers, and I ended up using the same background for two different pieces. I went where my muse took me. One direction led down a sad path. The other direction led down this celebratory path.

The vintage images are from an Internet search.

The words are from the song "Can't Hold Us" by Macklemore.

this is our party
We came here to live life like nobody was watching

Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
I have nobody for my own

Red-bellied Woodpecker - Photograph

I took this photograph through my window of what I think is a male ~~female~~ Red-bellied Woodpecker. The quality of the photo isn't the greatest.

This is my entry for:

I'd Rather Be Birding

Correction: This is a male, not a female. (Thanks Carletta! I misread my bird book.)

"Magazine Cover" – Postcard

This week’s Three Muses challenge was “Black and White Stripes.”

I had found this vintage dapper man during an Internet search awhile ago, and have wanted to use him in something. I created a replica magazine cover for Gentleman's Quarterly magazine.

I will try to catch up on visiting and commenting on everyone's blogs this weekend.

The fonts are listed below and some/all can be found on dafont.

"Sewing Pattern" – Postcard

This week’s Take A Word challenge was "Sewing."

I'm late posting this. I've been working on this all week, trying different things, and ended up creating a vintage sewing pattern. I will try to catch up on visiting and commenting on everyone's blogs this weekend.
