Christmas Art

 This ATC was for a swap on swap-bot.com. The theme was a dragon and Christmas. So here we go! A christmas colored dragon stringing lights on his little tree in the snow. And  lots of glitter of course!

These two sets of inchies are for swaps on swap-bot.com. I am hosting both swaps, one is winter themed, the other Christmas! Both sets have glitter and sparkles, because, why not?! I made these while watching Anime, yay!

Postage Stamp ATCs

Here's an ATC with two Noah Webster stamps.

And this ATC has a floral stamp from 2004. I remember when these stamps came out, 9 years ago now! There is sparkley paint on each of the 4 flowers. Neither of these ATCs were for any specific swap, so I will probably trade them in a Sender's choice swap, or as extras in other swaps.

 

 

 

Shiney Valentine ATCs

Here are 2 more Valentines ATCs I made. I just love sparkly shiney stuffs! :D

Valentine ATCs and Playing Cards

 

A whole bunch of ATCs I made this weekend for various swaps on swap-bot.com. And my first playing card ATCs!

 

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. :)

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!

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.

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.

Lots of Drawing!

This past weekend I have drawn several things! Not only that, but I actually collaged something. I usually don't feel like my collages ever look very good, but I'm proud of the one I did this Sunday evening.

It mostly has images I cut out of a book I got from our used book store. Seahorses included of course! I'm very proud of it. Its approx. 5x7 inches.

I also sorta collaged/drew this inchie set!

Inchies are mini art. 1x1 inches wide, it's a fun challenge to collage art that small.

I also finished my drawing of the pig and posted it to etsy: http://www.etsy.com/listing/94998311/paisley-pig-original-black-and-white-ink

Piggy! Yay! Please click on the image and view it in its proper size, it looks a billion times better! :)

And while watching the boys play Modern Warfare 3, I drew a zebra ATC for atcsforall.com.

ATC = Artist Trading Cards! 2.5x3.5 art that is perfect for trading. :)

And in church I drew this zentangley ACEO for etsy, I think spring should hurry up and come! I want the fresh green leaves! This one will be posted for sale on etsy sometime tomorrow I hope.

I also drew an all-colored zentangle on Friday. It doesn't have any black at all! I drew it while listening/after listening to my sis sing in her concert choir. It was all spring/happy songs that made me want spring. It's posted to etsy already.

Its all red! And also brown and a really deep royal purple (that looks a bit too dark in this photo. Alas).
