ART NOUVEAU WOMEN SWAP

Made these today for Kerstin's new swap. Ever since I joined ATCards.com, I've been constantly challenged in my art. I've done more drawings than ever before and this is one example. I'm very pleased with the outcome of today's efforts.

THE COLOR BLUE SWAP

These are my entries to The Color Blue Swap, hosted by Nicky. What fun this was! I just love the color swaps and am thinking of hosting a color swap myself. I have been in a black and white swap, two purple swaps, a tan and navy swap and several others. I was in two color FATBOOKS and loved those. One was orange and one was aubergine (eggplant) (another purple~~~I love purple). I think I'd like another two-color swap if I decide to host.

YAHOO! SUCKS

I am getting so mad at Yahoo!  They won't let me see messages on the group I own/moderate.  I keep getting an error message: "jams and mailart group is temporarily unavailable".  I wonder if anyone else in the group is having the same problem.  I have contacted Yahoo! FIVE times and not one single response!

 

YAHOO! SUCKS!

THE COLOR PURPLE SWAP

This is my submission to a swap on ATCards.com. I just finished them last night and had great fun. Now...on to The Color Blue Swap...more later.

BIG YELLA FLOWERS

Whenever I'm making art and cutting paper, I set a blank ATC beside my work and put the tiny scraps on it. I sometimes come up with a real good ATC. (Sometimes not). This is my latest "scrap collage" I'm kinda pleased with the result.

SELF PORTRAIT

I drew this a few years ago looking in a mirror.

FORT WORTH ART FESTIVAL

The Art Fest is back! Nora and I are going today and I hope to find some interesting art to post about here. I also hope the kaleidescope guy is back again this year. He makes the most wonderful kaleidescopes. They are way too expensive for me to buy right now, but one of these days I will add one to my own collection.

I can't wait to see Nora. I haven't seen her in ages. I haven't seen any of my friends in ages. Because i moved away from them to be closer to work. And I am so lazy that I don't go back often enough. I think I'm more excited to be with my friend than I am about the Art Fest.

UPDATE: Art Fest totally rocked. Nora and I got out there about noon and stayed till about 6pm. We ate lunch at Billy Miner's, my favorite downtown resturant, then hit the exhibits. I OD'd on all the great art. I wanted it all. It was hard to pick a favorite. I bought a refrigerator magnet of this years Art Fest logo and was intrigued by the art of Sean Brown from Denver, Colorado, who's sculptures are the result of many separate processes. The website is www.seanbrownartist.com so go look.

AFRICAN WILDLIFE SWAP

ATCs I made for the African Wildlife Swap on ATCards.com forum.

ATC ROUND ROBIN

Here's a Round Robin that I completed recently. I especially like Round Robin jams because everyone gets an original ATC and not a copy as they do with regular one-card jams.

Jackie

This is a drawing I did at lunch today of my friend Jackie. She sits across from me and this is the view I have of her from my desk. Jackie is a young mom but she's so petite I tease her about being the kid herself. I love to see Jackie come in to work. She has the cutest clothes and always looks good; she's always got a smile on her face and a cheerful hello. Plus she's a big fan of my artwork, always offering me praise and encouragement. I will be doing more drawings of Jackie. I want to draw her lovely face next.
