I have three of those stamps left - and have been waiting for a good idea....and now I have one. I am going to make the house bigger which will allow the address to be larger - and hopefully will be scannable for the PO. This has a Zentangle feel to it and probably took a fair amount of time. And now that I ponder --- it looks like Mary used alcohol markers - so it's nicely blended - and I do not have alcohol markers --- so I might want to rethink doing this.
The other thing that is drawing me in is the amount of black. Now I want to do a couple versions - one that is bold - and one that is lighter - maybe with the tulip stamps - and maybe one with multi colors.
That was a stream of conscious -- because it is 4:48 am. I might have to edit this - or it might just show up the way it is. Part of me is adjusting some of my routines - so you'll have to bear with me. I hope that is the right *bear* - it wouldn't be bare - another sidetracking thought.
I agree that the house needs to be larger. I was originally thinking of putting the address on the hill, but got carried away with my patterns and thought the address on the house made more sense anyway. I did use alcohol markers, but colored pencils would work well too. It didn't take too long because it's just random patterns.
ReplyDeleteI actually like the house smaller - the way you have it - from a design standpoint. That's the hardest part of mail art - deciding how scanner friendly you want to make it.
