ATC cards

ATC Artist Trading Cards …..I think I have been bitten by this bug…what I like about it is the “play” factor and the size….doesn’t take that long to create an unusual and interesting piece of art….I also like the mixed media part of it…..Life is like that isn’t it? a series a little vignettes that we have a choice to make art or garbage out of …..everyday….oh my, that is waxing TOO metaphysical isn’t it????????
Valentine ATC’s for a class I am teaching at Ben Franklin’s in Monroe…..Class is February 12th…..
These were very fun for me to do…Only one person is signed up for class so far (1.21.08) so I may not be teaching if I don’t have more students. It is a pretty cheap class ($10) I think, and mostly just a quick, fun time learning to just be creative….
single Zetti 4”x4” swap with Original Youth from the www.ATCards.com site….
this was the one I sent to her.. 
the front and 
the back.
Christmas ATC’s for swap 2007….
these go out this week…they were to be of fabric and be “sparkley”.....
Green swap cards….the picture to the left was a photo from our yard altered to be surrealistic: I used this tree as the backing on the green card swap…...below are the cards that I turned into the swap….September 2007
these are the fabric ones that I did….I actually added quite a bit to these before I sent them, but I didn’t have a chance to scan them before they had to leave for Illinois….
these are the remaining green cards that I swapped….they are all based on pictures that I took of myself flexing my arm and then altered in the computer, printed on card stock, and then further altered by gluing and sewing “stuff” on them…..it was great fun to do….especially using the “bulge” option in my photo program on my bicep…. 
:) just a little photo cosmetic surgery and I just did it a little bit, really….
Zetti swap August/September 2007….these are the cards that I sent into be swapped below:
These were also great fun to do…this was my first swap….they are also shown in my gallery seciton all together…
If you still are into ATC, would you like to trade with me? I’ve just started doing them, although I’m a veteran on exchanging fabric postcards. I like your blog, chatty and fun.
Great, I would love to trade ATC cards! I will email you privately. THANKS for dropping by the Blue Nickel. Come back now, ya hear?
Do not have a website yet. Sorry!
Do you like to trade with me? I live in Holland. Let me hear if that is a problem ok?
I have dutch cards. With windmills etc.
Love to have a card from you, I really like the cards with sewing on them. I have never made one of that. But I am going to try!!
Love to hear from you,
much greetings from Holland (in the snow now).
