Art Postcard from the Isle of Skye

What a wonderful world we live in!  When I start to get depressed by all the bad news of human, environmental, and political disasters, I can find peace and joy by slipping into the huge world of creativity that is brought to me by the internet.  It's not only a visual world of art, it's a connection of spirits with similar interests. 

One kindred spirit with whom I have connected through blogging is Emma, a mixed media artist living on the Isle of Skye.  Doesn't that sound heavenly? I had to look it up, and found it in the Inner Hebrides, off the coast of Scotland.  Her photographs are lovely and make me want to go there.

Emma is having a big birthday in June and asked blogging and art friends to participate in a postcard swap.   I was excited to participate, although I have been having trouble sorting through ideas for my contribution.  She beat me to the draw. (Pun not intended.)  Last week I received her art card, a wonderful collage of different papers, paint, stamping, and ribbon, all stitched up like a crazy quilt.  I treasure the art card and being Emma's friend.   My postcard will be on its way to her this week for sure! She's posting one card a day, and it's quite interesting to see each of them.  Stop by her blog and wish her Happy Birthday.
