January 2006 Creations

1st January 2006

So far as of 10th Jan I havent really created much.

I spent an entire day making lots of colorwash backgrounds using Adirondak Color Wash Sprays. These inks are yummy! I havent actually created anything with the backgrounds yet! I'm thinking of using them for my Asian ATCs which is a swap Im hosting on our swap group. As soon as Ive made a prototype or two I'll upload it here. But have to admit that the backgrounds are a little TOO NICE to use so I may have trouble forcing myself to use them! ;)

I am also hosting a Hearts themed ATC swap, so decided to have a go at making a couple of prototype for this swap. I love working with hearts, I guess Im an old romantic at heart! The 2 'Key To My Heart' atcs you can see in this gallery are what I have created so far.

Im also in an ATC Swap group with a bunch of friends, each month we take it in turns to host the swap, last month it was Chrissys turn and her theme was Heavenly Bodies - the 'Wings To Fly' atc featured in this gallery is my take on the theme. I added colour to the main image using my new favourite colorwash sprays - Cranberry and Butterscotch....YUM!

I had a spare Wings To Fly atc hanging around so I decided to mount and layer it onto the front of a card for a colorwash swap I am in. The card can be seen below next to the wings atc.

Lastly is my first art canvas I painted using acrylic paints and colorwash sprays, we are about to start decorating our living room and I wanted something interesting to hang on the wall when it was all done.

2 weeks later I finally got round to making some more stuff! More ATCs as I cant stop making them. I made Asian themed ones for an atc swap Im hosting. Plus a blooms max trader card for a swap Im in.

Watch this space for more creations
