Postcard sets on Etsy

May 28, 2010

Four blue postcards close

I have no idea why I fell off the red horse again(!), but fortunately not so hard this time, and got sick the day after. I don't think they are connected. Although it does feel like a message from the universe. At the moment I am slowly recovering from a head cold, balancing a head full of phlegm on top of a (still sore) shoulder and not sitting down much on account of how that is what I fell on last. If you see what I mean?

Anyhow – I scrounged up enough energy to post three sets of postcards on Etsy. These really are limited edition prints (I suppose I should have said that over there too) as I am clearing the decks of cards printed by one company so I have room when the next batch comes in. There is a set of four brown things from November of 2007, a set of four blue cards with circles from January 2007, and a set of four nearly random objects from the last couple years.

I am learning more about the family life of the bird headed people – here a parent juggles a baby while a youngling hangs from one arm. I’ve been here.

I just realized I forgot to add any texture inside the people. I’ll stare at it a while to see if they really need it. I think they probably do.

Another of the ancient equines – this is from the Parthenon, brought home by Lord Elgin and sold to the British Museum. In looking at parts of the Parthenon that have been in London and in Athens, you realize how much these pieces have been through.

I had some trouble getting the shading done to my satisfaction – it took paint on top of stitching.
