Just a quick post this Sunday morning! Washing, baking and helping with homework beckons……………. also Mack is having a friend over for the day.
These ATC’s are made from some old watercolour paintings that weren't good enough to frame…. but are perfect for cutting into 2 ½ x 3 ½ inch cards!
300gm watercolour paper with old watercolour painting (c1995),
stamped text and embellishments,
text cut from old book, felt-tip ink pen outlines and border
I 'm going to give these to my new arty friends here in Tamworth who I will be meeting up with this week after an extended Christmas break. We've kept in touch but it will be nice to see what everyone has been up to! Again, my photo proportions are playing up - and I have no idea how to fix it; but if you click on the photos to enlarge; they'll be correctly proportioned.
An incomplete 5th ATC- just need to add text
I really enjoy creating these small artworks- I have Lenna Young Andrews to thank over at Creative Lenna and her other blog Creative Swaps. Her ATC's, altered books and collage work is inspirational. I entered her last ATC swap -my first! My return swaps are winging there way to me now!I follow her blog and thoroughly enjoy learning new techniques through her blog.

lovely watercolor pictures. How much fun to gather with artist friends.
Mary @ Art Spirit does the same thing. Have fun.
These are lovely. I'm sure she will treasure them.
I do love your dyeing results. I hadn't thought of throwing in salt at the end. I'll have to try that.
If you mordant the cotton in alum you might get a darker color.
