Sometimes, when I look at such handmade cards, I wonder how many of these would the artists be willing to send away to friends for free! Especially Jayanthiji, since she has a vast collection of her own creations. :)
Jayanthiji, am I in your friend list yet, if not, what can I do to become one of your friends? No, not joking, this question has been in my mind for a while now. :)
Absolutely right Lata - I remember when I was a kid once I made a card with colour pencil shavings - you know when you manage to shave the pencil without breaking the flakes it comes like a flower.. I had different colours done and made a pretty greeting card and did not have the heart to send use it for a very very long time.. Finally the card got so old that one day my mum had to throw it away.. boo hoo hoo...
A greeting card made using pencil shavings! I can imagine it Judy, I have tried getting a "perfect flower" many times in my childhood days too, but somehow couldn't manage to stick it properly in a shape that I wanted. As soon as the shaving curls got wet (due to the sticky liquid glue, because back then there was no such thing called a glue-stick), the curls would crumple apart and get smudged, and ruin any arrangement.
Your card got thrown away Judy, but your memory of the same lives on forever...thanks for sharing! :)
Its very nice, Jayanthy Ma'am.... why dont you try colouring or painting along with these craft work.... one or two more colours, sure would enhance the beauty of your Art... making them more perfect...
