Could you have guessed? Alice chose.

He does look kind of wild. Kind of like my brother, in fact (it’s the beard). He watched over the hot springs at Bath, the most glorious (and slightly cross-eyed) Helios I’ve seen for a while. I embossed him on metal shim, and stuck him to the postcard with fusible and stitching. I’m still getting the hang of stitching on metal. It won’t carry a lot of holes gracefully – it just tears – so I have to stitch slower and move farther to keep enough metal in place to hold things together.

hmmmm –

I haven’t a clue what I am doing for postcards this month. I have been doing some heavy duty design and thinking about the journal pages, I have backgrounds for the next several months, up through November, and probably themes for them as well. I have a theme for November, to go with the journal pages for November. I have journal page concepts or designs for July, Aug and September.

My contenders for the moment are harvest, clothes or self-portraits. I suppose if self portraits are one option then faces (in general) might be another option.
