"A Dainty Bluet Damselfly..."

...painted in watercolor

as a custom artist trading card...

takes flight today from the cactus filled deserts of

Arizona...

across high mountains,

deep canyons, lush valleys, mighty rivers,

vast prairies and wide open seas

en route to

Monika in Lithuania. :)

Ahhh...what exotic sights there are to behold!

“There are no foreign lands.

It is the traveler only who is foreign.”

"Aztec Circle of Life Mask..."

...made for the second card in a custom 2:2 ATC trade

with Elina in Finland.

This mask depicts the Aztec view

of the three phases of life...

Youth and learning is in the center...

next,
Old age and wisdom is split to either side...

and the final outer split shell is

Death

and the life beyond.

"Man is least himself

when he talks in his own person.

Give him a mask,

and he will tell you the truth."
~Oscar Wilde
