    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!

    Foundation

    I was inspired to work in a board book today for something different. I started by gluing down random scraps of text from old books. I then brushed on several colors until I was pleased with the background.

    I took out this image of my Grandmother, her sisters and parents to use. Wasn’t sure what the page would become but wanted to use it none the less.

    Here are a couple of close ups of each side.

    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.
