My husband had Covid, which was unfortunate of course, but being a glass half-full kind of person the good thing about that was that I couldn't go to work which left me more time in the art studio. Gotta love that. Here's what I was up to...
Following Cheiron Brandon's lead, I made a couple of mixed media-ish cards. My base was some cork paper that I bought ages ago; it was cool to work on - need to do that more often. I finally figured out how to get zig zag stitches the way I like them too. Yay!
In the lesson above, she used printed tissue paper by Ranger on the background, but offered that you could always make your own if need be. I did that and loved how it turned out. I need to remember to do that again.
This ATC, cleverly named "Orange Flowers" - ha ha, was for an orange-themed swap on SwapBot. Another mixed media gem, I used Archival ink, Neocolor II crayons, gel pen, Stabilo pencil, cut bits from a greeting card floating around on my desk, and the background was made up of layered bits of gel printed tissue paper. I don't usually reach for orange but I'm happy with the way this turned out.
This next ATC is the last of a 3-part 'Exquisite Corpse' swap. I'm so bummed...I forgot to take a picture of the torso, but you can see the head I created HERE.
And one more ATC for a SwapBot tic tac toe swap (pick three prompts in a row from a 9-spot grid). I used vintage, acrylic paint, something found.
That's a wrap for now...cheers!
