    Numbers ATC

    February 14, 2009 - By 


    I joined a numbers themed ATC swap on ABC.

    I used pages from a Mathmatic tables book…from back in the day that you didn’t just push the button on the calculator….as the background.
    I attached these pages to recycled cereal and pasta boxes for a more sturdy base.

    The woman’s image came from The Commons on Flickr. What a great resource for artists! Thanks to Penny for giving our group the heads up on this one!!

    I love putting words into people mouths…especially when I can get a chuckle out of it!

    A little love…

    Since it’s so dang cold here I thought maybe a little love could warm us up! Current temp here is -15 F.

    I used mica on the left side of the image…I just know someone was going to ask. 🙂

    The couple in the photo is of my Grandpa and Grandma Hanson circa 1929.

    More ATC’s

    January 6, 2009 - By 


    I don’t know whats wrong with me but I keep making ATC’s. I’ve always hated working with this size.

    The top one was a “happy accident”. I was playing around with embossing powders by layering them when I accidentally smudged the still molten EP. I reheated it hoping to smooth it out a bit and decided it looked kind of cool. So then I scraped the cooling but still somewhat molten EP with a credit card. I then reheated it so it would smooth out a bit. The palm tree image is mounted with 3M foam tape.
