ATC Swap

Belinda Spiwak, Illinois

Kirsten Varga

Karen Silver, Wisconsin

Sue, South Africa

and my contribution to the swap...a series of fabric ATC's

Love them all.  So different.  Which reminds me that the possibilities are limitless!

Next swap.  Altoid tin swap.  We alter and fill an Altoid Tin.  I am signed up to send two and receive two.  Should be fun.  Love the challenge of finding treasures that will fit in an Altoid Tin.

Sumptious squares leads to Dreams!

Oh those darn sumptious squares started something for me.  As if I needed another distraction.  But maybe I did?  This was fun to create.  I learned about a small Works art show at Dennos Art Museum that anyone can enter, as long as the piece is no larger than 5x7x1.  So........I started playing and dreaming.

Hope you are having fun dreaming too!

scrumptious squares

The Yahoo Mixed media Group is doing a swap for 1 1/2 inch squares for the scrumptious squares in the Mixed Mania book study.  I was going back and forth with ideas and then....with deadline looming I just went for it.  This is a mosaic of polymer pieces.  Can I just say that these were a TON of fun to create.  I have lots of tiles with text.  I would just grab a few and see what they said.  And went with it.  I love how they conjure up little funny stories in my head. 

This is from a series of squares with vintage text, paper fabric (left over from the Stitch Alchemy book study) and lots of UTEE (colored and clear).  Unfortunately there is a lot of glare from the UTEE, making it a bit of a challenge to photograph and scan (I tried both).

Can't wait to see what the others have done with this swap! 

Another package I will eagerly await in the mail!!

Artist Trading Cards

Having a little fun this weekend making my Artist Trading Cards for a swap with yahoo mixed media group. 
These are fabric ATC, embellished with some beads, sequins and hand colored girlie.  I just adore her.  Each one is a little different....different background and framing fabrics.  Can't wait to see what I get in return....love these swaps!
