Before I sent this one, I outlined the beasties in black, to make them more visible (the poor girl needs some warning, doesn't she?) If I had to decipher this card, I'd say it has something to do with normal kid fears -- monsters under the bed, creepy bugs with deadly stingers, that kind of thing.
In the last card, #10, I originally included full-featured people, cut out from 2 kids' books. But the details got lost in the busy, blustery background, so I traced them and used silhouettes instead. I admit they look more like they're falling than floating through the air.
See the leaves in the backgrounds? I made them with a stamp I carved myself, one of my favorites.
I've started receiving postcards in the mail. I'll share them soon.
I feel calmed by the message that it's just in her imagination, maybe they are her protectors or guard dogs agains even more scarier monsters under the bed?
