Just stuff
My parents are here visiting - we're doing the tourist thing and my girls have been coming for dinner every night - it's been great! I'm busier than I thought I'd be though and haven't had any time to write. Nor any time to play. My folks brought up the Prismacolor pencil set I had ordered online and had delivered to their house (another office supply company that won't ship to Alaska). Wow - it's the entire set - great colors - but now I have like 140 pencils to sharpen. Ugh. Don't know what that has to do with anything. I wanted to show you the ATCs I finished right before the folks got here.
This first one is for an Anatomical ATC swap. I chose lips because I really like the photo I used. It's inset inside a photo mount - painted with gold acyrlic paint and stamped with black. The words were off this awesome tissue paper that Heather sent me and the silver wire coils were from her too. I scanned this and the colors aren't right (again) - the background is brown, the photo mount gold, and the coils silver. Sigh.
This is just an odd one. I started out with the japanese soldiers, found the words (which is actually the name of a painting) and then added the woman's image.
Who said fairies always fly themselves? This one is flying Alaska Air.
I MUST be tired - I had to actually THINK about the total of 15+9. Sigh... I love the ATCs! Especially like the LIPS! Always had a thing for lips - maybe it's 'cause people tell me mine are too big (I disagree) & ask (lately) if I've had 'enhancement'. (Nope!) Anyway, I think the ATC is awesome. Also like the other one. It's intriguing how you use so many objects to put together a tiny card that looks like it CAME that way! Neat! About all the pencils - you don't have to sharpen them all at once! Heehee! Just as you NEED each one. Think of it that way, and enjoy all your pretty new artists pencils! Have more fun with your folks today! HUGS!
Posted by: kai at July 26, 2005 10:20 AMJudi your ATC are awesome. Have a great time with your folks. I am still packing. Can't find the things I want and find the things I want. Will be glad when it is all over.

I've been watching your blog waiting for you to make an entry... did you finish the Crash Doll? I've got BellaDonna all set up with black fishnets and naughty knickers to match. As soon as the garters are finished she will be on her way to Isreal. Sometimes it gets to me that not only are these Flat Stanleys more worldly than I am, they are better dressed too!!
I love the ATC's... where do you get your ideas for the words? Do the words inspire the art or vice versa?
