the first 2 are PAT groups, where each in your group pick a theme and you all do a card for each person, The first group I had to do a cute Halloween witch, a bug or bird, Frida as a child and a Halloween witch. The second PAT group I had to do a face, coloured hair, a fairy and a flamingo.I love these as they stretch me ! then we have a Day of the Dead and the other is  Lovely long necks

New painting

Here is my latest painting, which I made yesterday. It is on canvas, with lots of layers of paper and paint. I was inspired by a photo of a flower which was turquoise and orange.

This original painting, which is 8 x 8 inches, is available here in my Etsy shop. I will be adding prints soon!

new ATC's

Here are some cards for recent swaps I have entered:

The second set are for Pick -a - theme swap, where you are in a group of 5 and everyone picks a theme, and then the other players have to do that theme for them.So I had to do a flower, whimsical tree, shih tzu dog, guppy....I picked Frida, so I will receive 4 Frida cards :)
The first set is for a 2 column swap, where you pick a theme from column A and column B, so my cards are,stripey socks and wellies, Bird and wellies, cat and stripey socks.
The last group are for the Accessorizing Alice swap.

Back to ATC's

About 4 years ago I joined an amazing online community www.atcsforall.com and my creative journey took off. I had always been artistic, but had never been encouraged as a child and then work and children took over. After finding an online community which encourages and supports, I began to call my self an Artist!! I explored many mediums and I think I have found my style, and I was brave enough to open my Etsy Shop
For those of you who don't now what ATC's are , they are Artist Trading Cards, which are 2.5 x 3.5 inches and you trade or sawp them with others from around the world. Its for all levels of ability, just a yearning to make art will do! I have hundreds of cards from people all over the world.
I haven't entered any swaps for a while and I am so pleased to be back swapping again. Here are some cards from a couple of swaps I have entered. One is Dark/Fallen Angles, the other is Our Lady of Guadalupe. I send in 3 cards ( an extra as a gift for the person hosting the swap ) and then I get 3 different cards in return!

OLYMPIC TORCH

It was very exciting as the Olympic torch came to the Isle of Man. We went to Laxey to see it arrive on the Electric Railway on the front of a tram!!

Rag Rugging

A couple of weeks ago I went to a rag rug work shop, oh my it was brilliant, I think I may have a new obsession!! We all made a rag rug heart. I was really pleased with how mine came out :0 The previous weekend I did a nuno felting workshop, which was hard work, but I loved the effect, mine is the white one in this picture.

Happy Easter...whimsical spring!
