Response: Glad you like them. Thank you for the heart! The Gelli journals have become my go to for art-on-the-go.
Response: Thank you, Carolyn. Message or email me if you would like to be an advanced reader for Book 2 of the series.
Response: Thank you. The book is a novel --planned as the first in a series. the main characters are artists -- think modern day, artsy Snoop Sisters or artsy, American Rosemary and Thyme.
Response: The paper that I used for the envelope is gelli printed rice paper with a coating of polymer gloss.
Response: Glad you liked it.
Response: I love using those stamps. They are so unexpected. :-)
Response: You're welcome.
Response: Glad you like it. People think that because I live in the CO mountains it looks like that all winter -- right now, no snow! Thank you for the heart.
Response: It was fun to speculate about the idea of home in the future. It'll be interesting to see if the hardcopy ever shows up in your mailbox! Thank you for the heart.
Response: You're welcome. Thank you for the rating.
Response: Love gelli printing too. I always wonder what to do with all the great prints besides using them in my art journal. Thank you for the rating.
Response: You are welcome and thank you for the heart. :-)
Response: You are welcome. It was amazing. Now, on to Seattle! :-)
Response: Glad you liked it!
Response: You are welcome. :-)
Response: The class was awesome -- one of Traci Bautista's. The fuzzy looking flowers were done with a sort of beat up, coarse-bristled brush using paint on just the tips. Never throw anything away! ;-)
Response: Glad you like it. I haven't done much image transfer lately. This project revived my fascination with it! Thank you for the heart!
Response: Sounds good. I know I've cut back on my swaps due to travel plans over the next several weeks. Thank you for the heart!
Response: Have fun using it. Thank you for the rating.
Response: Glad you like it. No worries on timing for rating. I'm traveling right now and my ratings are going to lag a bit as well. ;-)
Response: Have fun using it. Thank you for the rating.
Response: Unseasonably warm actually. The longest fall that I can remember. Thank you for the rating.
Response: I used watercolors. But playing a bit the other day I think it would have worked better if I had wet the paper first. Trial and error! :-)
Response: Great minds ....;-)
Response: Glad you like it. Thank you for the rating.
Response: Glad you like it. Thank you for the heart!
Response: Thank you for the rating. Glad you like it.
Response: Glad you like it. Keep on writing!
Response: Thank you for rating. I get nervous doing layers. I'm afraid I'll end up covering something I like and just end up with something that looks a mess. ;-)
Response: Thank you for hosting. It's been fun having a reason to work on something different than my mystery series.
Response: Glad you like it. Thank you for the rating!
Response: It was fun to make too!
Response: You're welcome. :-)
Response: Oh no! Glad they arrived safely. I guess that is a good reason to use sturdy backing.
Response: Glad you like it. I like to put them randomly in my Rolodex. They are a little surprise when looking up something.
Response: Glad you like it! It's a great way to use washi. I've made a bunch of additional embellishments. :-)
Response: Thank you for the rating and kind words. Since it was made from watercolor paper, it should hold up to most any use.
Response: Thank you. I enjoyed the swap as well. I've started using my coloring book pages as envelopes too.
Response: You are welcome!
Response: Glad you like it. It was a fun one.
Response: You're welcome! Glad you like them. :-)
Response: You are welcome. :-)
Response: Thank you. Hope you have fun further wrecking it. :-)
Response: Glad you like them. The outline was easy. I struggled with the face and getting the look of the body just right. So I cut it out and used as mask -- there's always a solution. ;-)
Response: Glad you like it. I wonder all the time how other artists make their pieces. I had rec'd my master board before I sent out yours and included with the note was the description of how it was done. I thought it was a great idea. :-)
Response: Glad you like it!
Response: Glad you took it as the tongue in cheek quote it was meant to be. ;-)
Response: Glad you like it! The "mini" version was fun. It's sometimes difficult to fill out a nine pocket version in a manner that feels cohesive.
Response: Thank you. Glad you like it. :-)
Response: Thank you! Glad you like it. :-) I don't do a lot of stamping. But when I use a stamped image on an ATC I always try to make it special with either an artful background, embossing, coloring, or as in this case fussy cutting with other handmade collage elements.
Response: Thank you for the suggestion. I sometimes shade, but my results seem inconsistent. I've picked up some blending stumps and am practicing using them. Hopefully, my shading results in more consistent effects.
Response: Glad you like it. Thank you. :-)
Response: No gelli printing this time -- though I do love to make prints! I used several layers of stencils.
Response: Thank you. I did it with layers of stencils. I was playing with colors trying to come up with some combinations that are a bit out of my comfort zone.
Response: You are welcome! Thank you for the heart.:-)
Response: Glad you like it. Thanks for the heart!
Response: Thank you. I'm trying to draw more and ATCs are a fun size to practice on.
Response: Thank you. I used fine point Sharpies. The problem with using them of course is that you always have to use a piece of cardstock behind the page you are coloring.
Response: Glad you liked the picture. The blue Subaru down below near the stream is mine. I hiked up above the parking area a bit to get a good shot of the valley. I didn't even notice my car was in the shot until I printed it! lol
Response: Glad you like it. I really enjoy zentangle inspired art and find myself working it into swaps whenever I can.
Response: Thank you! The background was done with Dr. Martin acrylic ink.
Response: So glad you like it. :-) I really love the downloads from Ephemera's Vintage Garden. They are so rich and I just print them on my ink jet printer. She also has some great tutorials on YouTube.
Response: Oh, good! Enjoy! :-)
