watercolour postcards



At last..., this has taken me 4 days to figure out to make, and I know there are a lot of stumbles and some bit filmed upside down, but it is my first real attempt at an instructional style video (so feedback welcome, but expect nasty comments to be deleted)

This was primarily made for other watercolourists, but the idea probably applies beautifully to small photographs (10 by 15cm or 4" by 6") just turn them over and put a stamp on the back. Most prints have a paper base so 8 hours or overnight quarantine on a shelf at the recipient's place is all that is required. I have however come across some plasticized and synthetic papers from some commercial labs and papers for inkjet printers (so they would be less suitable eg 72 hours or over 2 days quarantine required) but still worth sending. The recipent will undoubtedly appreciate their connection with you.
