I have been gone, and for quite some time.
I know what you're thinking dark blank interweb space that I envision filled with eager readers. "But
lady, you made promises! You said you wouldn't do this!" I know, I know. And I am sorry. In my defense, this relationship is pretty one sided. You should call more.
Now on to the topic of this blog post. What in the hell
have I been up to? Since I am pregnant, I am limited to what I am able to do. So I have decided to try mt hand at ATC's. What are ATC's, you ask? Well...
Artist trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern baseball cards, or 2 ½ X 3 ½ inches (63 mm X 89 mm), small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets. The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland. Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, paper cuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or cloth. The cards are usually traded or exchanged.
I initially made five, but now I am not exactly sure how to trade them. I will post them here. They aren't really good. I used to be pretty decent at this kind of thing, but it's been over two years since I have lifted a paintbrush. So.....Enjoy.....
Oh, and
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I think those are awesome! I especially like the first two. If Becky still lived in town, I bet she'd participate in ATC.
Veryyyyyyy nifty!
You should give it a go. I made my first trade recently. It's a lot of fun!
