Handmade Christmas Postcard

Handmade Christmas Postcard, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

My daughter made the art appearing on this card, which my husband sent to all of his pest control customers. Sure beats the standard cards you see in the mailbox! 🙂

Avenues of Art, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

This card, showing a word cloud (although I’m not sure of what), was to advertise “A response to the current state of the economy,” a talk by Luiza DeCamargo in Asheville. I like word clouds 🙂

Sue Fazio, Fused with Fire

by Renae December 26, 2009


Sue Fazio, Fused with Fire, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

Local art card … lovely 🙂 “Since January, 2009, wax is the new medium for Sue Fazio. Like the artist herself, these encaustic works are spontaneous, vibrant and soft around the edges.” This is wax?!? Awesome!

Moeraki Boulders, Otago, New Zealand

by Renae December 26, 2009


Moeraki Boulders, Otago, New Zealand, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

I would love to see this in person one day! From the card: “The Moeraki Boulders are scattered along the beach at Moeraki, 40km south of Oamaru. The soft mudstone containing the boulders was raised from the seabed around 15 million years ago, and the boulders are being exposed as the cliffs are eroded by the sea.” Otago is on the southern part of the South Island. (Thanks to Maria for this latest batch of cards, too!)

The Southern Cross

The Southern Cross, originally uploaded by CarolinaRen.

One of my most favorite New Zealand postcards! The Southern Cross is the English name of Crux Australis, a constellation visible in the Southern Hemisphere. Didn’t see it on my visit … maybe next time!
