Postcard Challenge Week 16~ ROMANIA

So another week of travels for our two "Acquaintances"- This time Darcy picked the country of Romania-Full of Dracula stories and tons of castles. I prefer to think of Romance when it involves Romania-like sweet food,flowers, beautiful pottery , rugs and shawls. So this was  the direction I went this week -bright ,colorful  and  things that make us feel good & beautiful. (instead of dark & spooky werewolves & vampires).

Front of Card

I based this card on a some pottery & rugs  I found on the internet.

Done in Prismacolors colored pencils- Romania produces

some really amazing rugs influenced by Turkish  designers.

Back of Card

 Correspondence:

"Alexander,

So Mr. Graham I finally know you full name! I'm guessing you must be a relative to Alexander Graham Bell-given your famous "family line"-

Also  I referred back to your previous postcard from Canada;

which said you were attending a gala at a museum in honor of your relative-

Am I'm correct?

Your job I have no idea-so please share.

I'm in Romania at a sheep auction -for my farm.

Brought a new shawl and pottery

Can't wait to hear from you soon,

Melite "

Page In Book

A bright & colorful  shawl based on an postage stamp from

Romania .

This was done in  watercolors and gouche.

I believe the original was actually a rug ,but I wanted something

to keep Melite warm and make her  feel beautiful.

Postcard in the Book

So Let's do a quick  four month review-

 Melite & Alexander have been writing to each other for over 4 months now-

They met in Austria; of which Melite has no memory of-

Alexander finally revealed his full name to Melite recently

(his job is a mystery yet?)-

Melite's last letter from Romania relates "She can Not Wait to hear" from Alexander again....

Are you still wondering where this story is going?

   Well keep coming back to read more.

            Happy Creating
