Postcard prints for charity

Following on from my previous post, I have now sent out my six postcards - 5 to UK addresses and one to USA.

I also put my name down to receive a print from @proofprintpress and was lucky enough to receive this delightful piece of art yesterday.  Now to send my donation to the local Prospect Hospice.

Postcard prints for charity

I am participating in the Instagram #oneofmanypostcard project which was initiated by printmaker @johnpedder.  Artists offer small pieces of art for free and, when it arrives, the recipient then donates what they think it is worth, or an amount they can afford, to a good cause of their choice - no need to declare to whom or how much.

I believe this initiative has been running for a couple of years or more, but I have only recently found out about it.  My contribution is 6 collaged lino prints which are mounted on watercolour postcards.

Urban Sketchers Swindon

 The first meeting of our urban sketching group for almost two years.  A very cold, but mostly bright morning. Just over a dozen turned up and sketched in the grounds of the Richard Jefferies Museum (the cottage was the birthplace of this well-known Victorian nature writer).
