In between lots of daily disruptions that have had me re-arranging, re-organizing and re-routing my time, maintaining any real routine and momentum has been a challenge. And now, with an imminent move into our new home, I’ve begun to pack and prepare.

What could have been an entirely frustrating period in this temporary, transitional space has instead, still with it’s challenges, been restorative, productive and fruitful.

Mother Teresa’s inspirational quote, “Doing small things with great love” perfectly captures the essence of this process for me. Creating postcard-sized pieces for my “Picture Postcards From Africa” collection brings me immense joy. Each small work has been made with great love.

I currently have one hundred and sixty postcards in various stages of completion.

Here are some close-up images showing the texture on a few of the cards.
