Here is the newest ATC swap I joined... In celebration of Marie Antionette Mail Art being one year old on 1/24/10 I am doing a cake theme. Your cards do not have to say "Let them eat cake" unless you want, BUT they do have to each have at least one cake. Thanks Rebecca for hosting!
The color Pallet Swaps are a little harder than one would think. This was my first attempt at using the "pallet". No more than 15% can be of any other color than the colors determined. Our pallet was:
And here are the 6 cards I sent, I got back 6 cards from various members who joined this group/swap.

About Kesi, And Many others like her:
Kesi had her hand chopped off when plantation workers killed her mother with a machete. Now she is the top pupil in Orangutan Forest School at Nyaru Menteng. Champion tree-climbing and nest-builder, Kesi is an excellent role model for newly arrived orphans.
Orangutans are extremely intelligent creatures who clearly have the ability to reason and think. Their similarity to us is uncanny. Baby orangutans cry when they’re hungry, whimper when they’re hurt and smile at their mothers. They express emotions just like we do: joy, fear, anger, surprise ... it’s all there.
If you take a few minutes and watch an orangutan, you’ll swear they’re just like us. And they kind of are ...

I was born and raised in the Silicon Valley in California. My mother still lives in my childhood home. I am one of 5 children (the middle child) - I moved to Washington State in December 1987 and have been here ever since. It's a beautiful state. I bought 5 acres with a home on it in 1991 and have been cultivating it ever since. When I'm not in my work room~ you'll find me in the garden.
MY fairy is called Feather Saturnwand
She is a trouble maker. [[wouldn't you know it!! lol ...I'm really not... no really #*!#@!}}
She lives in high places where the clouds meet the earth.
She is only seen when the seer holds a four-leafed clover.
She wears pale blue like the sky. She has delicate pale pink wings like a cicada. {{Ok oK.. I'll make trouble for the pInK Fairy wInGs .. yoouu hooo is this like permission?}}
