I'm having too much fun!

Moving right along with these ATCs .. got another two done today. I've finally smartened up and actually lay the whole thing out before I start cutting, fusing, and sewing. Before I just kind of built it as I went along. I like this way better. I'm happy with these latest two too.

I have a couple of pieces of Asian themed fabric that I've been dying to do something with. I like using images on my ATCs and I had a great one of Japanese ladies that I got my from Dover sampler. So I took my last page of Printed Treasures fabric and printed a whole page of various images that I could use on ATCs. The hand on the Printed Treasures is really nice and soft - too bad it's SO expensive! Anyhow - still playing with mesh - but this time I used some of mine - I used a red piece layered with silver to tone it down - worked well.

Pretty much did the same thing with this one - framed a picture. Made a crazy quilted background out of various black/whites - I have a huge collection of them and have wanted to do something with those for a long time too! That's Greta Garbo, in case you're wondering. Lots of silver, silver gimp, silver mesh, silver studs. I even tried to put silver piping on the edge but it didn't work out too great.

That's it for today! Tonight will be movies and popcorn .. hubby brought home three to watch! Typical guy movies too - action, action, and more action!

IOU a big email for the marvelous thing you did yesterday - look for it today! But I have to comment on these ATCs! First, the Japanese themed ATC is my fave EVER! I have always been in LOVE with Japan, AND on top of THAT - well - it's RED, of course! LOL! What's NOT to love? The Garbo one is marvelous! Very sultry & seductive with her image, and the black-and-white & silver of her screen era! Don't know if it was your intent to hint at the 'silver screen', but if not, you did it subconsciously, further testimony to your creativity! I also have a comment for Loren (heehee) but will save it for the email! Later!

Judi, your ATCs are great but your black and white takes the prize! Wow! Excellent use of all the different B&W patterns and the photo and trims as well!

I use the metallic mesh in the floral section at Michael's for cards and stuff - I've seen it in silver, gold, black and red.
