The PS in this instance being Patty Szymkowicz - the talented lady who produces the Magpie's Nest blog, full of wonderful art, amazing photography and inspiring words.Following an email exchange about canvases, we decided to swap art. I sent her a 4x4 canvas and received this beautiful 4x5 canvas in exchange. The colours and imagery are beautiful, it has wonderful texture and there's an amazingly solid feel to it, as if it is wood. It's stunning.
Aside from the canvas there was a bag of goodies, - papers, stickers, stamps and various other ephemera, including a large paperclip with a blackbird on the top. I love blackbirds :)
In a wonderful piece of synchronicity we both received them today, and her thank you emailed arrived just as I was starting to write this!
Thank you Patty :)
Update: - the goodies I sent to Patty are here
Wonderful piece of art
