ATC's


I've been playing with ATC's (artist trading cards) for a swap over at Artists in Blogland. I have some extras to trade if anyone is interested. The ones above are acrylic, ink and collage and the ones below are water color (learned from Joanne Sharpe). You can see the individual images on my flicker.

I haven't linked up for a while. I've found that I've not liked much of what I've been creating. I've decided to keep moving, but haven't posted as much for a while. I'm feeling a bit better about these ATC's. Maybe the inspiration is returning.

Linking to Paint Party Friday, Artists in Blogland, and Sunday Sketches.

    Great cards. I'm in that swap too. I hope I was one of the people you sent to. Love those faces! If not maybe we could trade sometime? I'm on AFA and Artist Trading cards on FB too. Oh and my Flicker page shows a bunch of cards that I've made. I don't have much to trade right now. But I could make you something. Just let me know.
    Take Care

    I love ATC's. Used to be into that BIG TIME in the late 90's. I have two binders full of amazing art. Yours are beautiful. The girls are rich and have a lot of depth. The words are fresh and crisp. I love them!
