Postcard Journaling

I'm Blocked! I didn't realize it until I left a wonderful artists studio yesterday filled with beaded work, handmade books, quilts, dolls, jewelry, purses, journals and quilted postcards..I know there was so much more.

I realized I have become a little afraid in my work. I have gotten so wrapped up in my "real" job, family and chores that I have forgotten to play.

So I've begun this little exercise that is supposed to take only an hour of my day to help me be more creative and stop overthinking everything.


I'm calling it postcard journaling.

I've never made postcards before but they look like fun. Quick little projects that don't have to be perfect and I can get my "completed project" fix. Hopefully it will get me out of my box.

This is the first installment called "Just Keep Swimming"...(from the movie finding Nemo)

This started as a scanned piece of art from a child's fingerpainting, printed on fabric and machine quilted. The fish is from an obnoxious piece of fabric with fish and mermaids on it...He's better out of his box as well! I have to get some tyvec for the back and finish the edges... tomorrow is my birthday - maybe I'll make a cake!
