Things with Wings ATC Swap

This is my ATC for a swap on Treasure Art Trends yahoo group. The theme for September is "Things with Wings". I've been working on Halloween projects and decided to follow that theme. I'm quite pleased with the "BAT" card.

By the Sea ATCs

Here are the ATCs I received in the August Swap at Mystic Paper. The theme was By the Sea. You can see my By the Sea ATC here. Such a fun group of ATCs this month.

Goddess of Green

This is my ATC for a swap on Fiber Art Traders. I decided to use recycled products in my ATC.

The theme of the swap was Goddess. I had read people were using FedEx packages are backing for quilts and in other fabric art projects. The background is the Fed Ex package and the backing is soda pop packaging. I decided to use the theme of the fabric bags that we are encouraged to use when shopping. The bag is made from a scrap of green fabric. I drew the arms and legs. Check out the sparkly green shoes. I wrote Reuse but card still needed something so I added crystal Stickles. Not sure Stickles goes with the green theme but oh well, it's artistic. I don't know why the crystal has a pink tint in the photo. It is more green when you look at the card.

Patriotic ATC

This month's theme for ATCs at Mystic Paper is Patriotic - Red, White, and Blue. I haven't participated in one of their swaps for some time because we have been out of town. Since I had just completed a Patriotic Quiltie, I decided to participate in the swap. These are the ATCs for the swap. The image is from Dover it says "Work on a farm this summer. Join the US Crop Corp". The mesh is recycled from a tomato bag. I thought it was an appropriate use for the mesh. Green can be RED!

Fabric ATCs

These fabric ATCs are for a summer swap on Treasure Art Trends. I have labeled them

"Sew Summer". It is a 5 for 5 swap. I cut images from a sewing themed fabric and sewed them to the brown background. I then added a button to each card and satin stitched around the edges. The fabric was from my stash. I believe I purchased it at a cute little quilt shop in Seaside, Oregon. When traveling, I buy fat quarters. They are wonderful reminders of great places we visit and I can use them in my art work. These will go in the mail today. I think this is my last swap before I begin a fabric book for a swap due in September.
