This first one was for a postcard swap I'm in. Originally, it was a 4 x 6 collage, but I liked it so much I resized it a bit digitally and added it to my Etsy as a 5 x 7 limited edition print. I like it because it reminded me of how a good friend used to say to me "Get down with your bad self Mamafish", which is hysterical if you know what a dork and old ordinary "mom" I am. But the fish are part of that nickname I have and the duck feet remind me of my dad (he was a waterfowl and fish biologist)
Love Your Freaky Self

This is a 4 x 6 postcard for a swap. The face is from LandofEnchantment.etsy.com, the body is from Itkupilli.etsy.com, and the duck legs are from Artchix.com. The border pieces were used from scraps from previous collages and come from Crowabout.etsy.com, Holliewood Studios, and my own collage sheets. Everything was hand trimmed and edged with ink and/or hand colored with ink and pastel.
These are my first two envelopes for swaps. I am an envie virgin! So, hope to get better at these . . .

These magnets are for another swap I'm in for a row of house magnets. I reused most of the pieces from the house tags I made recently. Nothing new and exciting, really.

I love the coffee themed one it's so perfect :)
Hi Marsha! Love your work! Especially love the envelopes. Mail art is so wonderful, to give and receive!!
Your work never ceases to amaze me Marsha! I love the envies especially!
Wo Marsha again so brilliant creations. The envelopes are lovely.
You are made so unique creations. Very inspiring.
Oh, I just love your new envelopes and magnets! So very cool, everything is just beautiful!
I love the use of architecture on the coffee envelope! All cool stuff.
GREAT envelopes Marsha! Woohoo!
Marsha, EVerything you do is new and exciting to me. And I would venture to say everyone else too1
Delightful work Marsh
Oh Miss Marsha, You're just so darn talented. If you weren't so darn nice too, I'd be whining how unfair it is that you're so darn talented. I've looked and looked at these pieces, and they're just magic. As usual. :) Big hugs, Shelly
Marsha, I really love your envelopes. Can't believe you were an envelope virgin, but like most everything else you excelled at it right away. I'd love to get my hands on an envelope or two of yours, possibly swap? I'm a big fan of the mail art. I also love your little magnet houses. Even if you hadn't done anything new with them, they still were awesome to me and new to me for that matter. You really seem to be back in the full swing of things? It also appears your computer problems are behind you? Speaking of which is your son for rent or borrow? He seems to be a very handy guy to have around.
Love, love, LOVE the envelopes!!! I made a lot myself once, but never took pics of it... you just inspired me to pick it up and make some envelopes again!!! LOVE the house magnets and of course your "duck feet" page!!! Have a beautiful Sunday!
Very cool! Looks like you have been a busy gal.....
i love the colors in your art! so, of course I had to visit your etsy store. if you ever want to swap one on one, please let me know.
happy monday,
joanie
Oh my GOODNESS - I so love this stuff! I love the freaky self collage, the phrase just sounds great and makes me smile. And your envelopes are amazing. The coffee one made me stop and stare. I can't believe these are your first two, you look like a pro to me!
xoxo
