At this moment, I have so many projects going on, it makes my head spin! But I managed an ATC for the Think Monday, Think ATC challenge. "Stone" is the theme for the week, so I put my favorite stone on top of a diagram of a stone pillar--a rub-on from 7 Gypsies. Images are from magazine ads and the line of diamonds at the bottom of the ATC is made up of Hero Arts "gemstones".
Almost everything I post on my blog is related to a theme from a challenge, but there are so many other on-going projects of mine that are slower and more deliberate works, and these are the things that don't find a home within the challenge themes. I also have some tutorials and other art related tidbits to share, so in the very near future, I'll be opening my second blog, ArtiPhacts, where I will share the other stuff, along with some facts phacts about my art, and the arts in general. Stay tuned...as soon as I'm ready, I'll hand-off a URL and a link in my blog posts here, so you can stop by and take a peek.
In the meantime, have a great day, Everyone, and Happy July!
Oh my gosh this is absolutely brilliant. Amazing ATC. Love this.
