What am I up to now?

*BIG SIGH*. Ahhhh, the summer is winding down and it is almost end of August and I am feeling very lazy with this summer heat lately.



August has been hot and working with the clay has surely been a challenge. I finally gave in and decided I was just simply in need of a break from the clay. So what to do with the extra time away from clay???? I still want to keep in my creative mood.




I have started doing some artwork in the form of what is called "Artist Trading Cards". For those that are not familiar, an Artist Trading Card (ATC) can encompass all types of media. Paper, fabric, metal, anything you desire. They can be photos, prints, water color, collages, doodles, and many other type of mixed medias. The format for this art form is a 2 1/2 X 3 1/2 (6cm x 9cm) card. ATC's are not sold and instead are traded with other artists around the world. They are miniature works of art!



I have only made a few cards so far and have really enjoyed the challenge of getting real creative on a small amount of space. And WOW! I just love using all these wonderful mediums like paints, markers, gel medium and glazes, inks, stamps, embossing, and all sorts of fun stuff!

View my Slide Show to see the cards I have made.

I am available for personal trades and you may contact me through my blog, facebook, or my website to arrange for personal one-on-one trades.

My cards can also be found at ATCs for All. I hope you enjoy my cards! I am really enjoying the break from the clay and just letting my creative soul take me where ever it can in this art form. No pressure, no big project, no fighting the clay in the heat. Just letting myself relax and enjoy some simple art for a couple weeks.

I plan to get back to my sculpting in a couple weeks as I do feel the clay calling me back. I have spirit dolls to make, babies, and fairies that are on my mind! But for now, I am having fun just letting my artwork flow freely with these ATCs!
