DIY: Galaxy Postcard

Hello folks

Today I`m here to share with you how I make my galaxy pattern. Here I'm showing specifically as a postcard but you can use the same process in different paper and places to create a range of different things. Its very easy and fun to do, and a galaxy will never be like other, just like the real ones in the universe :)

The necessary materials are:

A thick paper, you can use canson, watercolor , or specific card paper.
A pencil
A ruler
A blade
A paper cutter
A Large paint brush
A sponge
A toothbrush. ( I got a toothbrush only to make my projects , we don't want to use your current toothbrush people , haha).

And now, for the video :)

Hoje estou aqui para dividir com vocês como eu faço meu padrão de Galaxia. Estou mostrando especificamente como fazer um cartão postal, mas você pode usar o mesmo processo em papeis diferentes e criar uma variedade de coisas. É muito fácil e divertido de fazer, e uma Galaxia nunca sera igual as outras, assim como as de verdade no universo :)

Os materiais necessários são :

Um papel grosso, você pode usar Canson, papel para aquarela ou um papel especifico para fazer cartões.
Um lápis
Uma régua
Um estilete
Um cortador de papel
Um pincel largo
Uma escova de dentes ( Eu tenho uma apenas para os meus projetos, não queremos usar a nossa escova pessoal de dentes né pessoal haha)

E agora, para o vídeo , que em breve terá uma legenda e português :)

I hope you liked this tutorial, if you have more suggestions let me know in the comments :)

Espero que vocês tenham gostado deste tutorial, se você tem mais sugestões , me conta nos comentários :)

Outgoing to Denmark

Hej mine venner

Sé lest by Sigur Rós

Today outgoing goes to the lovely Julie. I decorated the paper with those mushrooms that  painted with watercolors, that I have to say, when I bought them I thought that would be way more difficult than it really is to use it, and now I just have fun a relax while painting :) Who else loves to paint with watercolors?

I also did this postcard , using images I found on pinterest. A "yay" to how amazing pinterest is haha \o/

Julie I hope my words reach you very safe and soon :)

Much Love

Vi :)

Did you know?

Hallo meine freunde

Message in a bottle by  Part Time Musicians

Did you know that the oldest message in a bottle was found in the Baltic sea by a fisherman on March 2014?

The sender where 20 year old Richard Platz, that wrote on a postcard in 1913.

Who received the message 101 year later was his granddaughter Angela Erdmann (62). She never met Platz who died in 1946, but got emotional when she visited the museum where the bottle has been to until May 2014. 

She was able to hold the bottle and said "Tears rolled down my cheeks."

source: The Guardian

This message is thought to be the world's oldest message in a bottle, and according The French news agency  " 'This is certainly the first time such an old message in a bottle was found, particularly with the bottle intact,' "

What if you find a message , or letter in a bottle? Would you send one? What would you write on it? Tell me in the comments :)

Postal Guest : Bruno Souza - Brazil

Oi Pessoal, tudo bom?

Today My guest is my postcard swap mate Bruno Souza, he happens to also be my fellow countryman :) And he have a collection of 640 postcards, check out

1-Talk a little about yourself ( your name,who are you, where you live, what you do etc)

        My name is Bruno Souza Vasconcelos, 15 years old. I live in Uberlândia, a city with 700.000 inhabitants, inside of Minas Gerais – one of the Brazilian states.  I’m a very shy boy, determined and dreamer. I like sleeping and eating, yes, I think they are basics actions, but I like sleeping a lot and eat different kinds of foods.

2- When, and how you got into snail mail?

 I started to collect postcards about 3 years ago with an advice of my English teacher. Now, I have 640 postcards by curiosity.

3- What you enjoy the most about snail mail and what you dislike the most?

      

         In snail mail I like to meet new things, new people and new cultures. I dislike when I receive many postcards from the same country, because I’d like to receive postcards from all countries. But I like it all without parciality.

    4- Would you change or improve something in your country’s postal service?

 I’d change the time of delivery service and values of postages.

5- Could you tell one of the most memorable or special things you received so far?

       

      One day I received a package with 25 coins and 12 postcards. I loved this envelope.  And the  other day I received a package with many things about my birthday. I appreciated this too :D

6 -Can you describe in one word the feeling of receiving mail?

     
     Surprise.  

Thanks for your words Bruno :) If you wanna keep on track of Bruno's growing collection or see more of it, don't forget to follow him on instagram. 

Muito Amor

Hello my friends

Today, I was a little bit stressed before leave for the post office ,but my grumpy face soon got a large smile after seeing everything I received :)

Priscilla sent me a really cute letter. I loved  read a little more about her, and can't wait to read even more things about Califórnia

                         

                               :P                               

Thank you so much Pri for those cute stickers and postcard ^-^

I also received a sweet sweet letter from Becca. I loved how she created a beautiful collage right at the envelope.

Isn't this balloon stamp so cute *-*

Thank you very much Becca, from all the words you sent me and the cute little gifts as well S2.

And, to make me extra happy, I also received some postcrossing officials :

Incoming from Israel and Baby Bulldogs

Shalom

Today I received a sweet letter from the beautiful Topaz. It took two months to come all the way from Israel carrying with it not only the beautiful paper and two more coins for my collection (thank you Topaz^-^) and a nice postcard but also a whole new perspective about the conflict that, unfortunately goes on in Topaz's Country.

She was careful enough to make the envelope out of a Divergent ad, that she  knows  its one of my favorite series, so that was very sweet of her.

Thank you so Much Topaz, I can't wait to write and send something as special for you :)

Today I also received a postcrossing official cute postcard from Australia with the most cute Baby bulldogs ever! And look at this stamp *----*

 Much love
