The ATC's

Just stopped by

2009-01-20T21:48:00.000-08:00

Just stopped by to say hello. I have got to spend some time scanning and posting here more. Got to get back to some of the challenges. I have been sorting and cleaning after Christmas and hope I can remember where I put everything. It doesn't take me but an hour and two tables in my art room are full. One large table is just for painting. I can let lots of papers and gessoed book pages dry on the 6 foot long table. The smaller table has great lighting and is cleaner for the more detailed stuff. My goal has been to see the floor and I am getting there.
Just a quick post of three ATC's that are finished.
Seems I can't download any image, I'll try again tomorrow.

Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas and an artful 2009.

Finding a few more inchies

2007-10-19T13:12:00.000-07:00

I found a few more inchies that I had made a filed under piles of other things. Enjoy

2007-10-16T16:54:00.000-07:00

Rain today

2007-10-16T16:40:00.000-07:00

What better way to spend a gray, rain on and off day than to straighten things up a bit. Because my art style changes every few months I find things that I will likely never use again. I went through a brown ink period, then white ink. Now the permanent black, distressed and chalk inks are all I use. Rubber stamps the same. When I was making cards a few years ago the stamps I used then now I never use. Cardstock, same thing, hardly ever use it, now I paint papers. Colored cardstock now seems so boring. I still use a lot of images, all kinds from all companies. But, I also use alot more images from junk. Tickets, books, photos, calendars everything is fair game. Just love to paint on a surface that has papers glued on first.
So, I found some more inchies I had made and just filed away (put in a drawer). Here are a few more and some for a private swap.

More Inchies

2007-10-15T20:26:00.000-07:00

A few more Inchies one for a Pink swap and one for a Black and White swap. Up to number 780 so far.

A Little Square Art

2007-10-12T15:53:00.000-07:00

I have been making Inchies this past year. So much so that now I will be posting number 759. Most I have traded in swaps a few I have kept. Also, posting a Lottery entry for artezine cafe.

Here are the scans

2007-10-09T19:08:00.000-07:00

The closing and opening

2007-10-09T17:51:00.000-07:00

I really enjoy reading blogs written by other artists. So now I hope to share with them what I am doing in art.
I have just finished 26 original pages for Chrysti Hydeck's Skinny Fat Book. Painted, inked, stamped, collaged, painted some more, collaged, stenciled and inked. I am so glad that I was in this swap, I learned a great deal. Some of her methods I used and a few I didn't. It is one of those projects that I hate to pack up to send, wish I could keep them all. So, I will continue to use some of the same methods and maybe keep a piece for myself.
