Daughter's friend is having a birthday; I made some portrait postcards for her. Recycled cardboard, inkjet images, paint, ink, sharpies, stickers.

"Receptacle" is a sculpture by Joyce Dallal, a container in the shape of a giant baby, filled with donated broken toys which cannot otherwise be recycled or donated. It's now on view at the Manhattan Beach Cultural Arts Center, and the gallery is accepting more toy donations for the work. We brought in a box today. This is the artist's statement.

What to do with your holiday cards after the holidays. Just need a circle punch and some adhesive (gluestick or rubber cement). Easy enough for young children--no scissors or measuring involved.

We're in the International Postcard Swap for Families 2011, organized by Zoe Toft of the blog "Playing By the Book": www.playingbythebook.net/2011-international-postcard-swap... We made our postcards from recycled boxes (like cereal boxes, cookie boxes, cracker boxes); all the images are historical photos of women and children, and all are from Flickr Commons (see below). The painted backgrounds are by me, the sharpie marker parts are by both me and my daughter. There's also some rubber stamping and inking. This image of Justine Wise and her mother Louise Waterman Wise, 1920, is from the Center for Jewish History NYC uploads to Flickr Commons.

Made from recycled wool (felted sweaters), stash yarn, and random beads and buttons. The tangerine triangle is felted cashmere and very soft. Most of the beads are glass and polymer clay; I think the buttons are all plastic and some are vintage. Long strap means it's perfect for cross-body carry.
