Altered Postcard No. 1 Energy Body: Inspiration

For me, the challenge of altering the first postcard was actually changing a piece of Taryn's artwork that I thought looked incredible the way it was. Inspired by a recent yoga class, I gave the piece the working title of Energy Body. This became my jumping off point. With a little help from a Marlborogh ad from a 1960s TIME magazine and gold puffy paint, I was able to add something that I felt built on the feeling of the piece that it had the first time I saw it.

Welcome!

Welcome to 2postmarks, a blog of original, mailable art work created by two sisters. The idea is that one of us begins an image and the other alters or "finishes" the image. Hence, we both get to leave our mark. All of our art is postcard size, either roughly 4 x 6 or maxi size, 5 x 7.5. We will show items in their original form after they are first created, and then post the final image after it has been mailed to the other sibling and altered. All comments are welcome. Enjoy!
