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!

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!
