The front of the postcard was done on watercolor paper in rich tones of green to represent the canopy of the rain forest. The branch was stamped on and then several leaves were over stamped. The beautiful Macaw was hand drawn , water colored ;and then hand cut feather were individually glued on top of the outline . Facial features were done with markers and white marker. I Love how it turned out!!

Melite,
I received your postcard from Spain. Wonder why you do not remember our time in Austria? We seemed to connect when we did the private tour ... Not sure why you have so many questions- I hope your memory returns quickly...
I'm in the Pantanal region in Brazil (the sights are amazing). Attending an ecotourism seminar. I'm thinking about having my board members support the DC-NGO conservation group.
Happy Memories Soon!
Alex
So until next week another piece of the mystery is revealed ...
