Draw it #2

It is all about the Creation and they wonder, searching how we did it😀 What we make is eternal! All they make is useful for just a short time, so all they make is rubbish!!, nasty and dirty. How can you think about making something that isn't everlasting and one with Mother Earth? These nasty idiots dump it all in the oceans! The oceans, Mother Earth and the air are disgusted by their clutter, but the Universe knows what to do with idiots.

Another handmade postcard for another swap partner. Sometimes I create an art journal page with the measurements of a postcard, which normally are 4x6". That's why you'll see some kind of journaling on the background of these postcards. It isn't my intention to write a message to the receiver, because most of what I write are personal thoughts, messages and ideas. So most of the time I will write on the base of the postcard, but then add different mediums/media to the base of the postcard, on top of my journaling and the journaling will be hidden. Some times I'll add text on top of the page; it all depends on my feelings thoughts and ideas at the moment of creating.

postcard recipe:
card board ~ recycled
van bleijswijck gesso ~ white
van bleijswijck acrylic paints ~ primary yellow, magenta, dark green, brilliant green, brown, titanium white

Colour duo green and blue

ATC cards, art journaling pages and handmade postcards for me are almost the same type of crafts/projects. I either add journaling to them or just create a painting with some drawings on them. It's not always easy to come up with a subject to work with, so prompts or themes help me a lot. And most of the times my journaling has nothing to do with the prompt or theme. I write whatever is on my mind at that particular moment of making that project.
