I had an opportunity to join a postcard exchange with the theme of Wings and Things. We could do whatever we want as long as the piece has a butterfly on it.
It came to my mind, because of the Wings theme, that I had a "little angel" up my sleeve to create this postcard with. :)
Using one of my very own images, in a piece, was really fun and altering it a bit as I chose. The background, here, was done with acrylics, transferring old music sheet, collaged torn papers, stamping; a little bit of everything. The mixed-media that I so enjoy!
I am wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead. Hope you all get some art time in so I can see what you're up to over the next couple of days. I love visiting your Blogs; you have no idea how much inspiration I get from your creative minds and spirit!
Our family has a joyous day, ahead, on Sunday. My granddaughter, Sophia, is being christened, this Sunday, and I see it fitting that it's on Valentine's Day! :)
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Much love to all - Marilyn xxoo

It's truly amazing that Sophia is being baptized on Valentines Day AND Chinese New Year. She will definitely be blessed, and in two cultures to boot. I hope to see some video, too (grin).
Your postcard is wonderful. I'm glad to see you are using your faces in your art. What a perfect way to learn and practice. I'm sure the recipient will know how very special it really is.
I also noticed you changed your blog banner. This one is super!
Happy Weekend, dear friend. You are always such an inspiration to me.
Oh I love seeing your angel face with the butterfly wings. Congratulations on the christening, hearts all around.
And a wonderful weekend to you. How special for Sophia to be Christened on Valentine's. I love your "wings and things" as butterflies are my favorite and your angel is beautiful. Keep creating...
Beautiful postcard! I love how you used your 'little angel'. I hope you are working through your rough spot--I know how frustrating they can be.
So beautiful. Are you going tos end it to someone? Enjoy your wonderful day at Sophia's Christening. A very special girl
I hope you have a great Valentine's day and that you enjoy the Christening! I love your new piece, and I too, think it would be exciting to use one of my very own images on a collage piece. That's so neat that you are able to create all your components to your art now! :o)
Amazing!!! Beautiful piece!!!
This is absolutely gorgeous Marilyn and using your new images created by YOU is a wonderful way to personalize your artwork! You used one of my FAVORITE quotes, Be the change you want to see in the world! I do believe that will end up on a tattoo on me someday!!!! :)
This little postcard is beautiful!
Just like you my friend!
Hugs,Patti
