Postcard Week 20 - West Africa

This week's postcard is again another Use It Up project.  I was able to make the postcard with supplies I had on hand.


Postcard Front:

I did my research on West Africa and was intrigued by the Tribal Masks and learned that most of the masks have a spiritual or religious linking to them.  My mask was drawn in pencil and colored in with markers.  It was placed on a paper and title added.

Dear Ann:
Doing a shoot in Nigeria, West Africa on Tribal masks and culture clothing.  Only here for 2 days.  I told them I need plenty of time for wedding details. Can hardly believe in 3 months I will be married to Bill.  He is planning the honeymoon and is keeping the location a secret.  See you in 10 days for final fittings of our dresses.  Love and kisses.....Zoey
