it's raining, no it's pouring amazing atcs

I got four in the mail today!

two separate claims from sunnydawn,

this great tattoo card that she says combines three of my themes, I see a robot tattoo, so that's two, and um, is she an elf?

fabulous drawing!



second card from sunnydawn is this beautifully drawn and coloured quilt on the line, great sense of wind!



then from homerof2 also on the theme of miniquilt, an actual miniquilt!

I don't know if a picture can do it justice but it's little pieces sewn together and three dimensional, really gorgeous.




finally, last but soooo definitely not least, leather and lace picked my linocut theme (i love linocut!) which made me very happy and she made this beautiful card.  she says she used a 'crow with a bowler hat' linocut she already had, layered coppered paint, and then black.  It's stunning.



Thank you to all three of you, I love these cards!

I received for my 'kaleidoscopes' theme yesterday from michelleandbean, and have been fighting with my scanner since then... it hates me, so m camera battery is now charging. There will be a picture soon! But it's so colourful, it makes me smile.

(I want a kwality monster. I am 'well jell' as my sister would say of those of you that have them!)

Thanks!!!

Robin, your stitched owl is so great!  I also love the wee little stitched quilt!  :-) 

Fancybutch, I am glad you like your atc's.  I was thinking rainbow used to be one of your themes?  Maybe it was someone else's but that was my thought...or oh maybe I did mean elf...

ultra awesumsauce on that stitched owl!!

Dude, I am learning SO much about techniques (linocut, and the tape transfer!) and getting so many ideas for techniques and fabrications (cross-stitch, embroidery, quilted!)... Best. Swaps. Ever.  <3

[cabaute]

PS... that "Talk Like a Pirate Day" card is HILARIOUS!  Great pick.

Got four, count 'em, four (!) goodies in the mail yesterday.  Here they are...

From Opalgryphon my gorgeous Luna Moth...



the details of this card are so impressive. Every square inch is covered in beauty. The subtle yellows under the lime green of the wings shows how long she worked on this piece. I just luuuuv it.  Thank you so much, Opalgryphon!!

(Couldn't resist throwing these 2 pics in.... my daughter made all her own Halloween costumes from the age of 4. Here she is dressed as a Luna Moth and here she is years later holding one that came to visit our house...)




Next, from kwality570, none other than "Larry", a moveable piece. You can make his wee monster arm wave at ya!  so much fun and wonderful colors. Thank you, kwality570!


then I have on my cats theme from mountainsandclouds, her two own kitties, Rupert and Monkey.

I am just itching to pet these two.... they are looking at me like they expect it. Cats, cats, ah, cats, I am obsessed so of course I adore this card.
Then included (was this really for me, or did you mistakenly pop it into the wrong envie...?)
A moveable Ballerina.

You can put her in ALL sorts of poses. She is soooo cool. I hope it's for me.... cuz I would be reluctant to return her, hee hee.
Thank you, mountainsandclouds!

Thank you everyone for hard thoughtful work, for incredible talent and for helping my collection grow.  love 'em all!!
