New ATC's

These are for an Asian-themed swap.  My son lives in Japan, so I have plenty of fodder for this subject.
I covered the background with a teabag;
watercolors also used.

Watercolor pencils, micro pen

Getting Back to It!

How's that saying go?  Life is what happens while you're making other plans?  Or something like that ... anyway, my blog has suffered while I dealt with the holidays, etc.  So I'm getting back into the swing, and here are some little "masterpieces" I've been working on.

Some journal doodling in the style of Traci Bautista

For the Creative Souls "France" postcard swap.
This is done with acrylic paints and ink.



These three little guys are for the MMSA "Cats" swap.  Just some little sketches done with pen and ink.

And these are ATC's I did for the MMSA "Stamp Heads" swap ... you get the idea ... this was a fun one!

Vintage Collage

Here is an ATC I did for the "Vintage" challenge over at Collage Obsession.  After a few false starts, I'm quite happy with my final product!


Current Swaps

Here are ATC's which I've mailed off for some swaps.  These first two were for a Steampunk swap over at Creative Souls.  This was a new subject for me, so I struggled a bit.



I created these ATC's for a Halloween theme and sent them off to my Blissfull Art swap partner.  Always fun to create creepy Halloween stuff!

Fall is Here!

Two pumpkin-themed ATC's I did for this week's Think Monday-Think ATC challenge.  My favorite is the owl, and it's dedicated to my little grandbaby whose favorite stuffed toys are "Jeff Owl" and "Chip Owl." LOL
