We have some exciting news at our household. Of all the artists on Etsy, my husband was choosen to have a video made about him and his junker car art. They even had original music composed for it. It took two days of taping to create a 4 minute piece. I just love it, but my husband won't really look at it yet. LOL. I am including the video in todays post, please watch it and feel free to pass it on. In his honor I am presenting this vintage rust colored travel collage piece using Gecko Galz images.
To make this postcard collage, This Postcard is covered with linen, painted and stamped with a map. The suitcase image is from the Great Adventures Paper Pack, The young girl is from Monday Child collage sheet. The Letters for "Big Wish" are punched from the Great Adventures Paper Pack.The accents include a tag with a leather tie, some printed diecuts and dotted paint details.
Hope you will get to travel this week whether on your computer or in your car. take care, gerri

Here's the video that Etsy did on my husbands art, just click the arrow to play.
omg..the video is fascinating!!! his car art is marvelous! i loved how he shared why he used the silver and gold paint on the car...i loved seeing how he took the picture and the details that caught his eye and made him want to use that car image for his art!! he has a new fan!!! thanks so much for sharing this! ..tell him he really needs to watch and be proud of this!!! your postcard collage is beautiful!! love the little girl image .
Love what you have made, and the video is fantastic. In the garden of a big villa near here, there are several old cards which an artist 'planted' about 40 years back; now you really have to look to find them in the greenery, just great! Valerie
not to ignore your creative project today, but tell your husband I just loved his video. I never even thought about finding an old "piece of junk" art, but by the end of the video I see exactly what he is saying. It's WILD and his his replicas are truly pieces of art. WOW!
Sorry iPad and blogger finding it difficult to be compatible today.
...... You with your wonderful collage (and by the way we are travelling hundreds of mikes this week - LA to Vegas, Williams, grand canyon, pirates cove and back to la just wonderful!). And hubby's amazing cars too, both of you so creative.
