Comment: Nicely done! Love the "eightliens." I don't know if you've ever done "soul collage" work, but I participated in a soul collage ATC swap once and came up with a card very similar to this one, with the perspective of someone looking at the earth from outside it. Never did figure out what that said about me... :) The hatted ladies on the ticket are great, too. Thanks, Mark!

5

Comment: Very very very cool cards! Great collage work. Really love the colors on both-- the warm brights on the Asian card, and the blue, orange and red combo with the goldfish and dice. (Love the pencils and "6" on the outside card, too.) I have to agree with your idea about the ink blot tests...my cards often seem to reflect my mood or what I'm thinking about that particular week...

Comment: LOVE the goldfish one! one of my favorite images is goldfish! Both are great and thanks for hosting the 8! I use acrylic paint from Walmart and my fingers on the background.

I've never been to SF but was in LA for a few weeks earlier this year, and to quote George Takei "OH MY!" No - really it was wonderful. I've never seen such beautiful beaches and at Descanso Gardens there were thousands of camellias in bloom. I've promised myself I'll get to San Fran one day.

Comment: Great Cards! LOVE the bw one! I get so excited when i see your envelopes...You have some really great stamps! i am suprised that you dont use them for your cards. I hope that you dont mind if I slip one or two onto my cards. the images are so great, I almost cant resist! I love what happens to them in the post and they become "used" images to recycle. I haven't used them yet but would love to with your permission!
Response: Thank you...you are more than welcome to use any of the stamped images. I mainly use them on envelopes and some cards. I am learning some new techniques with rubber stamps and may start using them on ATCs and APCs.

And of course the stamps on the envelopes are also great, especially the teapot. Now a days all the flowers are growing in the fields here in Holland, it is so beautiful, all the nice colors. They always make me happy, of course the Tulip is my favorite flower. Many greetings from bicycle country The Netherlands.

Comment: Thanks for the postcard. These houses are really beautiful! Edit: Got the skyscraper card today as well! It really is kind of an awkward looking building. I think it's just ridiculous how they throw these big towering buildings into neighborhoods of smaller buildings all by themselves!

Comment: The 1st postcard arrived today! I look forward to receiving the others! 10/16 #2 - the "collage" postcard is really cool. 10/17 #3 - such a pretty street artist. 10/19 #4 - I think those are spools of thread. Cool! 10/21 #5 - I'll have to recommend this site to my friend. She's an artist and lives in SF! And a HUGE THANK YOU for the extra cards, too. They're great!

Comment: Hi Mark, great collage! It's really vibrant and 'in your face', the whole thing really pops, I love it. My personal preference is fibre/textiles rather than paper, but this is so good, very well put together and nicely balanced it definitely deserves a heart. Shame you don't have a blog, I'd like to see more of your work, and how you get your inspiration. I was in San Fran in July, love that place ....and thought you might like to know...the collage had lifted off the backing in places, as well as some of the collage elements, it's a shame if you do all that good work then have it spoilt by not staying stuck down.
Response: Thanks so much for your nice comments and the heart. And thanks for lettting me know about pieces lifting. I was trying a new technique and really wondered how it would hold up in the mail. I will send you another one (no return is necessary) in another color and see if it one holds up better in the mail. Thanks again.
