In the digital re-imagining of my art that I was telling you about yesterpost, I’m creating one of these collage postcards series entirely from the images in the 100 day project from earlier this year.
I’m finding the journey of a creative practice follows a spiral path, revisiting and reinventing along the way, enriching and inspiring from the past into the future.
These drawings nestle up together in their new arrangements as one edge blends into another.
They contain hidden messages and fragments of found poetry from the words and phrases that wandered through my mind as I drew.
These are glimpses into the dream scape of my imagination. And I’m only just beginning!Â
If you’re quick you can catch them in my Etsy store …
If you’re super quick you’ll catch the This-Weekend-Only-Sale of 15% off EVERYTHING and catch international shipping before the holidays! Lawks!!
There are currently Two sets of Three Postcards available:

You know how I love to find new ways to find new ways.
I love to mix my drawings and graphics in with my photography experiments by way of digital collages.
I’ve been having the most fun doing this lately and new art is emerging as I spiral around in this creative practice.
I was so pleased with the way these designs came out I had some printed up as postcards.
They are gorgeous!
I love how they contain hidden messages and fragments of found poetry as snippets of words and text peep through.
They are glimpses into the dream scape of my imagination. And I’m only just beginning!Â

I began working on this series back in July, but the paintings from which I collaged these tiny works date back much further.
I love how life and art spiral round,
how patterns repeat on a range scales,
how it’s all about the context. Â
Then I zoom out and I see this project in the context of all the art I’ve ever made, and all I have yet to imagine.
It’s a place on a timeline, and that line spirals round.
These 15 pieces are the first of a multi-part series: “Inner Space”
In this iteration I’m zooming in.
Next look at these thoughts will be both from afar and close up.
The micro & the macro.Â
There’s so much more yet to come,
I’m so excited to show you how this develops!
All these paintings, inclusive of their mounts, measure just a smidge over 5 inches square.
I think their magic is in the tiny details.
You can become lost in these itsy-small worlds.
All of these one-off art cards are available in my Etsy Store from today. Â International shipping is available — catch ’em while you can!
