Birthday ...Burgerman.....Buddha


The postcards are from Emma at Little Bit of Everything she is doing a birthday swap and these GLORIOUS postcards are the ones she made for Jim and me...I love the colours I hope this pic does them justice ...Thank you Emma ...

Went to Winchester today and found an exciting exhibition in the library by Jon Burgerman called Brain Drain....very colourful graphic type images ....some of the paintings were done on cardboard and fabric shawls with his funny little images on






The Buddha ATC cards have been inspired by Hannah's Buddha from the last post

  16. I didn't realise you were in my area - that means I could well have found that sewing machine! I saw the exhibition in Winchester, it reminded me of my sons work, though not as scary- see my DBO links. Enjoy your half-term.
