..nothing like these mini masterpieces to get the creative juices flowing! And why, oh why amidst my mayhem am I creating ATC's? Can't for sure say why, other than out of the blue, some nice lady emailed me and asked if I would trade some and keep the "Spirit" alive.
I've to make 6, send them onto a list of faceless addresses and hope that I'll get a little joy back.
And for those of you who don't know, an ATC - Artist Trading Card - is like a playing card, same size and dimensions and are traditionally traded (and not sold) amongst artists as a way of swapping and sharing artwork.
What else? The house is making progress. Little by little it is starting to resemble a home. I've got to the point where I am putting pictures on walls and on Wednesday the "mechanic"??? will come and FIX the newly laid wood floor (harrumph , don't ask!) I have painter's elbow from slapping latex on walls and I think we will meet the local recycling target by the time I put the rest of our cardboard boxes out on the street on Wednesday!
This looks great Marie - so do you actually use playing cards, or card the same size as playing cards for ATC'S? I hope the music has arrived to keep you occupied whilst supervising the floor "mechanic!"

Oh I can so relate! We moved across country late August and we are still rearranging, painting and generally trying to cozy this new house into our home. Little by littel, corners and entire rooms are coming together.
I so enjoy your art and your writing. Thank you for sharing.
