ATC Love

Another week gone by and more wonderful ATCs  were submitted.

Does your mood affect your art or creations?   Do you allow it to come through in what you put onto paper or canvas?

Does your sadness or happiness reflect in your art?  Do you find it easier to be free in art than in life?  Do you create with abandon?   Sometimes you just have to let go!  

I have taken classes where the instructor had us close our eyes and paint (within reason!!) and others where you hold the brush by the very top of the handle and barely touch the surface.   


Exercises like these allow you to let go.   Try it sometime, who knows it could open a whole new world of creating for you! 




Using a loose painting method, I made these ATCs for this week.  I used several paint layers and stamps;
See all of our paints by clicking above.
Vintage text pages provided ideas for words
Dylusions Stamp and a random stash stamp were used as well.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
