Now for something simple ...
I had to make three Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) which incorporated bar codes into the artwork. I wanted to make three completely different types of cards. My favorite, which should be no surprise, is the one with the vintage lady.
The middle one is supposed to be the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland - it probably would have worked better if I could have found a wider, longer bar code. The little girl is my Aunt - she's getting to be a regular feature in my work, LOL. The bar codes on the fish are actually blue and they came from the back of paint chip samples. This was a fun exercise and they are already winging their way to their new owner.
Yep, I like the vintage lady too, but I think the Cheshire Cat is pretty cute, too!

I tried to send you an email, but it is coming back to me as undeliverable. Please write.
Posted by: Judy at September 2, 2006 5:30 PMI love the vintage lady and music too but the little fishes are pretty cute,just unique! all are great !!
Posted by: Jacque at September 2, 2006 7:12 PMJudi, you are so clever! Leave it to you to do something artistic with something as ordinary as bar codes. You really are an amazing artist!

I'm also a fan of the vintage lady card, but all three a great as usual.
Posted by: Kerry at September 3, 2006 1:23 AMI can't pick a favorite...love them all. Very creative use of bar codes. What a great idea pick something we have plenty of and see every day...and make something unique and special. Hummm I'll now see bar codes in a whole new light. I have some tags off of clothes that I want to incorporate into ATCs.
Posted by: Auntie Linda at September 3, 2006 1:28 PMWOOHOOO!!! Love your new ATC's. Of course the Lady is my favorite. I love the vintage look.
Love & Hugs
