One of the things I really enjoy collecting and creating with is vintage postcards.  I especially enjoy hand-tinted ones like this.  Isn't she beautiful?  I have hundreds of postcards and I cannot bear to cut them up, so I keep them stored in photo albums and scan the images into my computer to use in my artwork.  This also enables me to use Photoshop to retouch or alter the photos.  This one has not been retouched or altered, I think it is lovely just as it is and needs only a little bit of de-speckling, and a patch on the dog-eared corner.
