First stages of making some very unusal postcards!

I am also using this blog to show-case some of my serious and fun Art Projects. One of the course l am taking at the moment is great fun. It is run by an amazing artist called Traci bunker, who is in Americaa and her blog is http://tracibunkers.ning.com
The course l am participating in is making very unusual and any size postcards. They are collaged and painted, then collaged and maybe painted again and some are finished with wax, to which objects have been embedded into the wax. I am at the very beginning, which is finding odd bits of cardboard and collaging them. Can be orgainized or random. You do both sides, l have put the first four basic image up here for you to view. As each stage is finshed l will upload them. I have not had so much "FUN" for ages. Thanks Traci!

You have managed to produce such a variety in style and themes in your card art.
I am impressed and very curious about to where this will lead.
Keep up the good work!
