My mailable art trade with Beate

Beate lives in Dusseldorf, is a photographer and fiber artist. She contacted me requesting a trade of mailable art. I was thrilled and delighted as I had been visiting her blog and was inspired by her work. The postcard above is my trade from Beate. She named it, Explosion.

Beate's use of color and the wondrously thick thread-work is very effective. I love how the thread seems to take on the effects of paint.

Well I consider this a wonderfully successful trade!

We each chose the card we wanted from among those listed on our blog. Each card selected was very different. Each has its own strong narrative line. Mine uses antique lace and ephemera and is a sentimental presentation; her's is all contemporary with lush coloration.

We were both ecstatic with our trade!
