collage 8_25_10, originally uploaded by Tomoe Nakamura.

A postcard collage for mail art that I am sending to Australia. Back of this postcard is Japanese temple photo.

It is just like my hobby now I am putting things together in a small sheet of postcard and send to other mail artists.

Naoshima landscape with mixed media

Here I just did mixed media painting with watercolor and soft pastel. I painted from the photo of Naoshima island of Kagawa Japan.
Painted on watercolor paper, 51 by 41 cm.

I was struggling all summer class, but I received A for it! Not it is paid off, and my teacher said I should do more of this kind of mixed media landscape and I am thinking to continue more.
