Making Postcards Video
Here is a little video tutorial demonstrating one way that I am making postcards. You can use this method to make Teeny Tiny Art of any sort, postable or not. I'll demonstrate this and other methods in a FREE POSTCARD WORKSHOP at Art and Soul in Kansas City on April 4.
Here is the 8"x12" piece that I created in the video:

I will be sending these out on Monday. Have fun with this! You might try doing it in a group, and even collaborate on the cards. Let me know how it goes, send me your own ideas on making postcards. Download the Step-By-Step here.

absolutely love this idea and needed a fresh project for this week. I was excited by this postcard art idea of yours and now this project will also be perfect. thanks Jane
ReplyDeleteBrilliant.... Love. It. All. :)
ReplyDeletelove the finished piece before cutting and the 4 postcards are cute and whimsical. a great idea for making valentines. And, those hardmade stamps - how clever - I'm going to try that. thanks Jane
ReplyDeleteExactly! When you really try to create VARIETY, so that each quarter is different, you often get a pretty interesting piece that you don't want to cut up. Also, just knowing that you are going to cut it up allows you to relax, not worry about "good composition". It allows you to be more present to the process.
DeleteYour postcards are GREAT!
ReplyDeleteI do these too...they are FUN.

ReplyDeleteHi Wen! I will order the back issue to see your article. LOVE the card you sent! I'm getting so many done in fabric and fiber.
DeleteWhat a fun idea. Love all the techniques.
ReplyDeleteOh Jane, this was fantastic. I love your techniques. I learned a few things today and can't wait to play. I think I need to go raid my husbands bits and pieces in his work area to make some interesting homemade stamps. Oh, I love the tissue paper idea, too. Guess I need to go back and view all your videos. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Thanks for all your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteSpent the morning doing 4 postcards using your video as inspiration! Will be putting them in the mail this week!

ReplyDeleteHi, what kind of paper do you use? I have no idea what to buy so any help would be appreciated :)
ReplyDeleteI use a printmaking paper for the substrate, and cheap drawing paper for painting my collage papers. See the Links page on my web site for specifics and sources: http://janedaviesstudios.com/links Have fun!
DeleteThe video was great but it made me miss my old favorite Irish pub. Hope to see more from you guys.
