Here are a few of the postcards I made and sent. I didn't make them all the same, but I did have some repeats. The assignment was to pick a favorite artist and make something in that style. It was a lot of fun. I deliberately picked some works that you don't see on the calendars all the time. Can you guess which artist was the inspiration?

Georgia O'Keeffe perhaps? I love the simplicity of the designs: they work really well for postcards.
O'Keefe is my guess, too. These are great, Jen!
My first reaction was O'Keefe then I saw the first one again and thought Andy Goldsworthy, but I think O'Keefe.
Very nice!
I love them Jen. I think O'keefe has been on lots of calendars, so I think that wouldn't be right. I think maybe more of a cubist? Don't know who though. I like that it isn't obvious to us all. Inspired by don't mean 'copy of' someone's work. I did a quilt called 'Aurora Dance', & had come up with the idea while drinking my morning coffee from a Barbara Lavallee mug. When I met her, I showed her the quilt that her work had inspired, & she was surprised that it didn't look anything like her piece. She said she never would've guessed she had inspired me.
Can I say I meant doesn't!? I guess I should read through again before I hit publish!
I have just started doing fabric postcards, Jenny. Would you like one from New Zealand to cheer you up while you wrestle with your illness?
These are fabulous and what an inspiring assignment. Will put it on my to do list. :)
You have an outstanding good and well structured site. I enjoyed browsing through it Ontario toyota auto dealers United states bulk mailer data e mail
