Pink and Brown Inchies

6 inchies I made for a swap. The theme was pink and brown. I really like the crinkly bright pink tissue paper, it was a super super easy way to add texture. :D I also love the Japanese book I just bought. I don't know what it says, but it makes pretty collage papers. I love how the cupcake turned out, too. :)

Mini-book

A mini-book made from a double-sided 12x12 scrapbook paper. I made it for a swap on swap-bot. This was the first page, inside the red pockets was a rainbow of ATC blanks, and the little doll below.

I made her/him! They're so much fun to make. Just wire and floss, plus a tiny tiny scrap of cloth, and a bead. This guy is about 1 inch tall minus the hair.

This is an ATC that was in one of the pages of the mini-book. The paper is kinda sparkly, if you can see it.

The last page in the mini-book. There were 2 other pages, but the first and the last are the best. The little house pulls out, and says Let It Snow on it.

The front cover of the mini-book, with another little doll. :)

Anubus & A Bulbous Bouffant

This is an ATC I made for a Halloween swap on swap-bot. I just love how the "ghost" turned out. :D I love the kinda jackel-shape it has, like Anubus. It was an accident, but totally fitting!

Just another seahorse ATC I drew. The seahorse is tinier than normal, though, so I had more room to add seaweed and currents around him.

This is for an ATC swap on swap-bot. The theme was purple mermaids. I like her "bulbous bouffant" hairdo!

Witch ATC Swap

I drew both these ATCs for a Witch Swap on swapbot. I love how this one's hair turned out, I suppose with dreadlocks or beads in it. :) The cat I also really like, except for the fact its sorta floating above the grass...

 

This one has awesome creepy leafless trees. and cute little freckles! Or maybe they're worts on her nose?

Altered Text ATCs

These are two ATCs I made back in June for a swap on swap-bot. There were a series of swaps, all altered-text, with each swap being a different color. This was the black swap. I like the layout and aesthetics of both, and especially the bottom one. The book pages came from one of Frank Herbert's Dune books.

Sparkly Inchies

I made some inchies today, with pretty fall leaves and SPARKLES!

I used shiney purple paper, on orange paper, with a stamped leaf image cut and glue-sticked on. Then added some sparkly tape, and rubbed a purple stamp-ink pad on the sides. The final inchie was glued onto cardstock from an Earl Grey tea box pulled  from the recycle bin.

2 ATCs

This is an ATC I did for a seahorse swap I just did on swap-bot.com. I wanted to do something a little bit more imaginative than my normal seahorse which I've done a million times, so I added another fish! He ended up being a betta fish, cus, why not? I think it turned out really cute. :D Plus, see the coral-stuff same as before?

This is a collage ATC I did about a week ago for a Halloween Cupcake ATC swap on swab-bot.com. The purple in the photo isn't quite so blue looking, I'm not sure how the colors got so messed up in this photo. Anyways, this was a lot of fun to do.

Some Drawings from this Summer

5x7 drawing I did about a month ago. I think this will be the back of my new business cards. :D

I drew this while staying at Cannon Beach, OR this August. Its about 5x7. I'm trying to scale up to larger drawings more often. Its different than drawing on a small tiny scale.

This is a Betta I started long ago, and finally finished in August, at Cannon Beach, OR. I'm proud of myself for drawing a sorta accurate betta fish without a reference. Yay! I also like how the "coral thing" turned out. It's a lot more interesting  and textured than the swirling seaweed I usually have in my fishy drawings. This drawing is about 3.5x4.5
