sparrow cards
I still owe a couple of holiday cards (!) so I painted these on artist trading cards (2.5 x 3.5).
You can buy little "frame" cards for the ATCs that come with a cellophane sleeve, the frame, and an envelope. I think they add a little polish.
Best Wishes for 2014 and happy painting Laura.. I really like your birds and they make a lovely card. A wonderful subject for your daily paintings, each one beautifully rendered. I will experiment and get back to you about the ink pens, mine are mostly waterproof. Have you thought about ordinary writing inks, used in a fountain pen, they come in a range of colours and are usually non waterproof. I will have a play with some pens and see. Milly
Laura - these are certainly lovely and would make such precious gifts. So enjoy seeing your bird paintings. Have a great day.

It would be a treasure to receive! Beautiful earth tones against the blue background and they look very polished in a frame.
ReplyDeleteGosh, anyone would be more than thrilled to get one of these in the mail! Lovely and fresh :)
ReplyDeleteLove these.
