New Tag and Swap - Wrapped ATC

This is one of 2 tags I got in a yard sale - it started out as a red plastic tag with a clear back. I added lots of paper layers, paint, ink, crackle paint, grungeboard heart and star... The colors aren't as deep as in the photo. Not sure what I will do with it (like most everything I make) but it's fun to look at!

Here is the latest swap - for wrapped ATCs. I love all things bird (of coarse) and here is the ATC I did for my partner. This is closed and wrapped.

Unwrapped.

Open.

Alter Free Postcard

Another swap on Swap-bot is for altering free postcards. I got both these cards at the Flaky Tart in Atlantic Highlands. These cards are from local companies. The first one I did is the last one posted. I forgot to take a before shot. I made sure I did with this one.

This is called home.

This is called odd tomato.

So I take both cards outside so I can spray with a matte finish, and a few minutes later the torrential rains come. Fortunately, the spray worked - neither are worse for it. Just waiting to find out who to send to.

Doodle Postcard for Swap-bot

This is for a doodle swap.

Guess what the recipient's name is?

On an Art Card Roll...

This is fun!

I love vintage book pages, Ranger distress crackle paint and ink, any thing birds, and my watercolor crayons.

Make Your Own Postcard

This was a very cool swap on Swap-bot. You/your partner send an envie to their partner, and that person needs to make a postcard out of it. Should have photo'd what I got-newspaper clippings, magazine sheets, fish photos, vintage book pages, stickers, string, etc. This is what my partner will get from me. (The 13 is my donation) It's already to mail and I hope she will be happy with what I put together. The little sign is on the back between the message and address. I have to get my envie out to my partner (not the same person as the recipient of this postcard) in Sweden!

Flower ATC

Another swap on Swap-bot - this time for Flowers. I really liked the way the Bird ATC turned out so I did the same layout. Alot of Ranger products here! This is the front.

This is the front flat out.

This is the inside. Partners haven't been picked yet. I hope the recipient enjoys!

Bird ATC Swap-Bot

Yeah, I'm playing with Swap-bot again. Here is my "double" ATC I did for my partner. This is how it looks closed.

Here it is flat out (front).

Here is the inside flat open. Hope she likes it!

Fun at the BAC

I went down to Belmar on Tuesday for a class with Michelle from Ranger. Got to play with lots of Ranger items. Here is my collage - Mother Nature. I used magazine photo, stickers, embossing powder, buttons, stamps, paper flowers, inks and paint. Much fun!

More for my A-Z Journal

Here are my pages for A, N, and S.

Working on A-Z

I'm playing with Alphabet-Discovery-Workshop doing alphabet pages. Here is my take on the few I have finished so far.

While out and about

I was out doing my Saturday thing, and looked out my window of my car and saw this building - not in great shape, but I loved the look. Had to shoot and alter it. What do you think?

For the birds

I made this birds from instruction from evbstudiohome - I have listed pictures in earlier posts. It's fun playing with clay! The only frustrating part is I use air dry and it takes a few days (or more) to dry. Arrrggggh!

Another Etsy listing

I just listed this piece called "spectrum". It's a mix of old papers, paint, ink, metal bits and more! This is my homage to Lisa Kaus.

A Little Birdie Told Me

One of my paintings I have listed on Etsy.  I have done a few more which I hope to list this weekend.  I have been busy making clay birds, pendants, painting, collages... I just can't sit still.

Fun in Hampton - Art & Soul 2009

This was from Lisa Kaus' class.  Loved this!  It was also the last day - what a way to end Art & Soul!

Fun with Richard Salley - Here are some of the things I made in Richard Salley's class

dandelion susistyle

I carry my my camera everywhere I go and any time I see something I snap it, then figure out what I will do with it later.  I love to alter my shots, and this one is no exception.

Off to Art & Soul!

Leaving in a few to go Art & Soul in Hampton VA.  Can't wait!  Taking classes from LK Ludwig, Lisa Kaus, Richard Salley and Lesley Riley.  Looking forward to vendor night too!  See ya'll when I get back on line Tuesday!
