It has been quite awhile since I have taken part in a Mail Art Exchange. I was involved in so many art swaps for a long time, and I found that I had no time for anything else. So I had to pull back, regroup, reassess and start again. So I went from far too many obligations to none! That was hard, as I had gotten quite accustomed to finding wonderful suprises in the mailbox on a regular basis. Then one of my dear friends, from one of the very few groups that I still belong to , sugggested a Post Card Swap. Make three and get three. Now this was reasonable and very doable! The task was to make 3 cards 4x6 in size and use paper as the basis- Just Paper???? No way, not me!! I made the birds out of my fabric/paper and the trim is some yarn scraps sewed down with invisible thread. 
These cards were not easy to photograph as I had used a watercolor spray ont he background that contained mica powder. I had to use the flash as it is raining outside and the flash does not like the shimmer from the mica powder- SIGH!!
I think that the gals who are going to get them will be pleased! I have placed them in a clear plastic envelope for mailing, so even the postal workers can enjoy them!! Maybe the cards will brighten their day as well!!
