MMSA cats postcard swap

Got my cat cards back. Well, two of them. I sent in 3 and so far two have arrived. Possibly a malcontent sorting machine at the USPS did away with one of them. Wouldn't be the first time.
The bottom three are the ones I sent out, included here because I can't remember if I blogged about them already and am too lazy to go look. Seems like I did cause I think I remember talking about Mabel.
This cool shadowed cat is from Ellen in VA. I never thought to do this before
but I really like the effect and may have to borrow the idea!
Love the colorful cat against the subtle patterned background.
Feels like a spring garden in cat shape.

This hand drawn Siamese is from Joanne in MN.
I love how it perfectly captures the wonky gaze of a cross-eyed Siamese!
She used chalk pastels for the base, then added colored pencils and pen.
I think it's amazing. I have very little drawing skill
so am always pleased to receive hand drawn work.

  2. They are all great! But since I was the lucky recipient of the cat and the chicken, that one is my favorite! :)

  3. I agree - that shadowed cat is one cool cat! I haven't seen that type of shadow effect before and I think it's great....I'll borrow too! :)

    perhaps it will appear when we least expect it.
