L.Y.A. Side Swap #9

 

L.Y.A. 2016 Side Swap #9, "Build" by Sherry Harmes.

L.Y.A. 2016 Side Swap #9, “Build” by Sherry Harmes.

Sherry Harmes lives in Larsen Bay, Kodiak Island Alaska. I have swapped with Sherry before, and I always look forward to her art arriving.  For these tiny houses she used security envelopes and watercolor. On the back of the card is this:

Conceive, Believe, Achieve!!!

The building she is doing this year includes and addition, Bee, Bird, Butterfly and Bat houses. And relationships with long-lost family!  Sherry sounds like a busy bee herself!

Sherry includes the weather stats on her card, I think that is such a fun and creative detail. The temperature in Alaska was at 44 degrees, and when I received the card in Wildomar, CA. our temp was at 51 degrees. Funny to think So. Cal. was almost as cold as Alaska!

I placed Sherry’s card in something that I built (with some help), paint storage crates.

This is my lucky 13th card to arrive! Still looking for one more of the regular swap cards, and then Kat Sloma’s to close the swap. And there are more sides on their way as well!

Wishing you the very best in your busy year Sherry! Thanks so much for sharing your playful art with me!
