Animorphs

These three ATCs were made for Weird n Wacky "Animorphs" swap




- I really had to think "outside the square" for these
- but heaps of fun tho!!


AND now on to the next one - "BODY PARTS"...

Winter ATCs

~**Winter ATCs**~

These were made for ATCs-NZ July "Winter Swap",

I had a lot of fun with this swap as I love snowmen. The background of these ATCs are scrapbooking papers (surprise! lol), and the snowmen are die-cuts. I added glitter, snowflakes etc.

And yes, that is a penguin in amongst them, isn't he cute?

Blue & Orange ATD

**FUNKY CHICK ATD**

This doll was made for Artist Trading Dolls groups June swap - the theme was "Complimentary colours" - I picked Blue & Orange - not normally colours that I would work with, but I had fun with it.

Actually, I don't like Orange, but I have to admit that she looks good in it !!

Bookmarks

~~BOOKMARKS~~

- made for Mail-Art 4 Kids -
sent to Tui.

This was a fun swap - I really enjoy making bookmarks, and receiving them !!! One can never have too many bookmarks. I got back two gorgeous ones from Pearl.

More INCHIES

"INCHIES" - for NZ Mail Art July swap.

I love to make these - they are such a challenge - to fit plenty of detail on a 1" canvas - I'm looking forward to our next "Inchie" swap !!












Quite a few of my stamps are suitable for "INCHIES" - I had a play with various ones, and discovered that even the large ones reveal amazing pics when an inch square is punched out of it - my square punch is going to get quite a work-out over the next few months ... LOL

My Fabric ATCs for Trade - Slideshow

Fabric ATCs for trade

Slideshow Babs

This is "Slideshow Babs" ...

so named because her body is made from a slide mount (DH helped with the name!). She was fun to make ... I hand-drew her face, arms & legs, and used a tiny pompom on the top of her hat.

She will be sent out as a PIF (Pay if Forward) for ATC Art Dolls - along with the other two that are in mid-make !!! LOL

A Celebration of Women fabric ATC

"A Celebration of Women"

Made for NZ Fab ATCs.

Reddish-brown background, stamped Mona Lisa image on calico, hand-stitched beads, and a gold scissor charm.

These three fabric ATCs were made for our May swap. I enjoyed making them, even tho I have to stitch everything by hand !!! Maybe I'll get my sewing machine fixed soon, would be nice to be able to finish the edges a bit faster ! LOL

A Celebration of Women fabric ATC

"A Celebration of Women"

Made for NZ Fab ATCs.

Reddish-brown fabric background, stamped shoe on calico, beaded lace on the top, with red buttons. Completely hand-stitched.

A Celebration of Women fabric ATC

"A Celebration of Women"

made for NZ Fab ATCs.

Green fabric background, stamped image on calico, and textured sheer flower fabric on top - with beads in the centre of the flowers.

"Mull Dooney" Art Doll

This is "Mull Dooney". He was made for a private trade with Kathy on ATC Art Dolls. The template is from Artist Trading Dolls - and it's such a fun one to use. I've made quite a few dolls with this template, but he's my favourite !!! If you're a NZ'er you may get the reference to Muldoon !! LOL

I made another one very similar to him for Marla - slightly different colours, but with the same face and embellishments - he's called "Mull Dooney-ish".

Celebration of Women

These were made for ATCs-NZ May swap - "A Celebration of Women". I didn't just make these ones, I made about 20 (!!!) cos they were fun to make, and I decided to keep going with the theme so I would have them for private trades.

Music, Feathers & Autumn ATCs

I made these for ATCs-NZ April swap. The themes were "Music", "Feathers", & "Autumn". The feather stamp is from Rubbadubbadoo - I fell in love with it, had to have it, and hardly ever use it !!! LOL The pen nib stamp is from Glamour Girl Stamps - this is a gorgeous stamp, and is particularly nice gold embossed, which is what I did here.

Green Angel

"Green Angel" made for Mariah of Fantastic Flat Dolls - Maggies group. I enjoyed making this doll - her colours were lovely to work with (Lime greens & Purple), and all the patterns, papers and colours just seemed to fit together as I was making her.

Life is short ...

Altered CD's made for Alternative Artists - this is one of my favourite quotes, and it seemed to go extremely well with the map background, and the pictures.
