This is an incredibly clever card celebrating 2010, the Year of the Tiger. You may wonder, on first glance, what it has to do with tigers. But the words at the bottom explain it all. This is probably the most creative New Year's card I've ever received.

Feathers, tiny flower petals, butterfly wings, owls, and age rings on trees--they're some of my favorite things!

irene watts

Irene, who is known for her detailed and lusciously colored artwork, sent me this "minimalist" card in a salute to Etegami. The colorful artistamps on the addressed side are her creations too. (I'm afraid the card went though a bit of wear and tear on both sides by the time it reached me.)

What a wonderful surprise to receive Talvikki's beautiful etching from a random matching on Postcrossing. If you love receiving picture postcards from all over the world, and you haven't heard of Postcrossing, let this be the last day of your ignorance! Check out postcrossing.com

frips

Very cool deer print on the flap of a cardboard box. The Belgium bird stamps on the other side would love the Japanese bug stamps I often use to send mail art, don't you think? Best Wishes for 2010 to you too, frips! : )

Katerina sent me these apple prints she made in 2005. Two of them show the star in the center of an apple which is revealed when the apple is sliced crossways. On the back of the cards she quotes from Turkish author Orhan Pamuk's The Black Book: "I loved you when you showed me the perfect star in the heart of the apple..." (p.372)
