To New Zealand

To Germany

I'm afraid I haven't been very good about drawing recently. My only saving grace is the fact that I doodle on the back of these postcards I send out. Since I know someone is waiting for the postcard I at least get a little drawing done. On another note this person talked about books so I decided to draw my library card. I enjoy it when the person's profile I get has something in it that gives me an idea of something to draw. This person asked for book suggestions.

Lavender - To Finland

Apparently there are quite a few postcrossers in Finland. This will be the third card I've sent there in my short time as a postcrosser. On this one I did just a quick little doodle of a sprig of lavender.

To Japan

I definitely prefer the look of a big, bold drawing on the postcards I send out. It's kind of funny but so far all of the postcards I've used take watercolor fairly well. I know I don't have to do the sketches on them but it's fun to send your drawings off into the world. And I know I would be delighted to get one with a little drawing on it.

To Australia

A card to Australia. I've received my first card and it was from Dresden, Germany. It's quite fun. I think I'm going to try to focus on sketching one central item on the back of postcards I send out now. I think I like that effect better.

To Finland

Here's another postcrossing card I sent off. I don't know if I'll keep posting them here or not. They do have little sketches on them and might be fun to look back on all together someday. Any thoughts?

To Italy

This is my second card for postcrossing.

This time just a few little doodles. I actually sent the cards out on the same day.

Postcrossing

So I discovered a new site a few weeks ago called postcrossing. Basically, you register then receive up to five addresses around the world. You then send those addresses postcards. Once it's verified that you sent them, your address is given to someone who sends you a postcard. Simple enough, so I'm giving it a try. Here is the first card I sent.

She said she liked Egyptian postcards or ones with poppies. So I decided to draw a quick poppy on the back. I'm thinking if I keep this up I might make a little sketch on the back of all the cards I send out. Might request that people sending me cards do the same.
