Index Card Art

I was having issues with Blogger last night...

or my computer is not happy in this heat!

Or all of the above, as I wasn't able to

add any text to my blog post, or even see the scan

 on this post. Had to 'publish'

first and it was there on the blog, even though it didn't 

show up on my Compose screen.  Creepy.

The black and white background is a photocopy of

a drawing that I did several years ago, using Sharpie 

markers.  I cut up the photocopy and used portions

for this card. The berries were a scrap that I saved that

is acrylic on black card stock, hand-painted similar

to some medieval designs. The yellow & orange patterns

are origami paper.  The flower is from patterned

tissue paper gift wrap.  The bit of muslin was painted

with acrylics, and there is pink card stock behind it.

The bird came from on-line, but I apologize that I 

don't know the source.  These were all scraps that

I've saved and recently organized into zip lock 

baggies by color.

Went to the Cleveland Museum of Art

this week and thoroughly enjoyed myself!

Stay tuned for some sketches, notes, 

and information about my visit.
