Marnie Blum -prayer flag swap

How exciting! We have three (sets of 3) prayer flags for our swap due Sept. 15th that are here! Let me start with Marnie Blum from North Carolina. She has made some gorgeous flags in a very creative way, by copying her art journal pages onto canvas. You can read more about her process on her blog. Here are her lovely flags . . . .

 I like how she packaged them, very nice! 

The dangles are so nice, I can imagine them in the wind . . . 

The backs . . . 

thanks so much, Marnie! 

Marnie Blum: Vintage note card Swap!

I just received Marnie's wonderful vintage note cards yesterday, what a delight for me! Go to Marnie's blog, Otter Blue to read more about them and what materials she used to create them! Click on any image for a larger one.

I am really enjoying seeing all the different ways the image of the woman on the French postcard I sent all of you with your registration is being used! Beautiful note cards and envelopes, Marnie. Thanks so much for playing! 

Marnie Blum: Mail Art Swap!

From Marnie in North Carolina, I have 3 wonderful envelopes to share. It really helps me when you are sending your swaps if you can email me and let me know whether you have 3 or 4 envelopes coming. Either is fine! Marnie did let me know, which is great . . .  this morning I remembered (!) then realized her set was complete and that I could share them. ; ^  )

Gorgeous mail ART, Marnie -- thank you so much! You can visit Marnie's blog here: Otter Blue.

4x4 collage swap -Roads+Paths: Marnie Blum, North Carolina

Our 8th set of 4x4's for our Roads and Paths swap has landed in my PO Box and 12 more are expected! This particular set is from Marnie Blum in NC. It is her first 4x4 collage swap, but you certainly would not know that by looking at what she's done!

I love how she has creatively used photos she's taken and extended them out into the "frame" with colored pencils, pen & ink, card stock and watercolors. I especially like the feeling Marnie's 4x4's give me when I look at them; like i could have been there on that path. Below is the back of the 4x4 above. You can click on any photo for more details.

~ wow! These are so cool. Please visit Marnie's Blog to read more about her process creating these 4x4's. Thank you so much for participating, Marnie. You have added some choice pieces to our swap!
