Easing back in...with ATCs

After such a month I thought I'd get back into artymode  (new word!...it IS a living language) by joining a few ATC Swaps.  I'll only show you a few of each or I'll go on all day, and my studio is calling.

First up is my Paper Traders group and the Postage Stamp People swap.



The Explorer

My Hero

This Ol' House

Next, an ArtChix swap with a spooky theme for Halloween.

A Horrid Idea

Headless

The Royal Ghost

Part of the brief for ArtChix is that the card must contain at least one of the ArtChix products.

Finally, for my Ipernity group, the theme was 'scissors'.

Tape

 

Oops!

Scissors Kick

NOW I'm ready for some REAL art....off to the studio.

Been there....

...done this....
