Blue ATCs

Art Trading Cards are so addictive.  While waiting for inspiration, paint to dry, or between exhibitions,  I make these small cards, 2 1/2" x 3.5".  Mostly collage, I usually make them for a challenge.  This time it's blue ATCs for ArtChix.


Time Warp

Button Up

Is It A Dream?

Ouch!

Rest And You Rust


Shine On

It's all brain mileage.  The photos look a little washed out, perhaps it's my scanner?

  1. These are just delightful! I keep meaning to add them to my repetoire and keep forgetting. I still have the sites you recommended before and have even registered at one or two and then don't follow through. I have a stack of cards on my desk and guess I need to pull them closer so I actually notice them - I love the idea of using these little gems as a warm up exercise. I see some mini collages in my future :) BTW, thanks for the encouraging remarks - it means a lot coming from you!

  2. Wow, Jo. I love the time warp. I may have to "steal" err, borrow that idea for a page in my Time AB. That was one I didn't even think about.

    Thanks for dropping by my blog. I have not been a very good blogger lately and I appreciate that you stopped by and put me to shame. Sadly, I can't leave comments on your blog unless I go through my translator. I have no idea why, but it started in late November.

    I love all your ATCs. I really must get back to making a few of them. I have forgotten how addictive they can be. Thanks for the reminder.

  6. These are really nice. I like the rust warning!
    our work scanner makes things blanche out. and it's a laser!
    the little epson inkjet I have at home makes amazing scans.
    not sure what the deal is, but it can be really frustrating.
