So, I signed up for "Laundry Day" a mixed media class over at The Maker Beehive. This was my very first mixed media project and I had so much fun!! I may just have to create some more pieces!

 

 

My first coins of the year (in fact, the first art I have created for over 4 months)! These were created for a swap that I am hosting over at Atc's For All - "Coins With A Quote".

 

'Dolly Dingle' Russian Dolls

I was given an old paper doll book: "Dolly Dingle". Most of the clothes had been cut out and were gone, but many of the heads and a couple of the bodies were still intact. I thought they would make really cute Russian Dolls; so here they are! All ATC sized. This was my first attempt at Russian Dolls... it was fun!! 

 

A Few New Cards

I very recently lost my mum and art has been a refuge from the depression that has been shrouding me. I was invited to a Challenge Art Athon hosted by sniisk (Sanna) over at ATC's For All. I really enjoy her challenges and appreciate the work and time she puts in to them. Here are a few of the cards that I created for the challenge.

National Hairball Awareness Day (ATC)
The Key (ATC)
Oh La La (ATC)
Full of Smiles (ATCoin)
Tranquil Waters (Twinchie)

Junk Journals For My Girls

Since 2020 has been unkind to us all, and quarantine is so much fun (not!) I decided to make my daughters and daughter-in-law a surprise for Mother's Day. I created these Junk Journals and personalized them with art, quotes and images. I added tiny envelopes, trap-doors and hidden secrets :) I love Junk Journals...

 

Moos for the New Year

 A few Moos for the New Year. Created as part of a 'Trash to Treasure' type of challenge swap at ATC's For All , hosted by Haagmm (Melissa). These are the first moo's that I have ever made; they are super fun to create. All of the cards are 1” x 2 ¾” .

Pockets!

I decided to try making some "Pocket" ATC's for a swap over at ATC's For All. It was a new endeavour for me, but I really enjoyed the challenge. I decided to go with a vintage look and chose 'Time' as the theme. Each little pocket carries an ATCoin.
