J :: Altered Postcard

What ??!
There are other people out there who like the same silly stuff I like?

This is still my reaction when I come across a blog or a flickr group devoted
to some relatively obscure fascination. As many of you know, I adore
vintage photographs and mixed media art. Oh , and when I'm not playing
in those worlds ... . . I have a day job as an Interior Designer. It's fun - but,
truth be told : It just provides the income to keep me in art supplies to
play with.

There are a few places where all my favorite things come together and this
little postcard is one such place. It's a postcard, part of a group
which I had made (using my photograph of one of my design projects)
to use for some business correspondence. Simple, direct and
rather professional.

Then I decided to play with it ... . so I took this business card and
"altered" it by doing a bit of stitching / painting & layering
a miniature playing card with some tulle ( love playing cards, too).

Voila! Business Meets Art.

I suppose it's inevitable that all these little pieces eventually come together.
The particular occasion for this post of this piece is my discovery of a group of
postcard / mail art lovers who share their postcards on Fridays.

What a fun idea ... . . I think I'll play!

See what they're doing here: Postcard Friendship Friday.
