I'm lovin' ATC's!

I am having so much fun creating Artists Trading Cards. The size is just right for a small project that doesn't overwhelm and make you feel like you'll never acomplish anything! Which is how I feel sometimes!

I painted three more last night in between cooking dinner, eating dinner and talking to my daughter on the phone. By the way, her doctor has given her some medication for the high blood pressure so she won't have to go on bedrest for the remainder of her pregnancy (only 2 months away!) She has another re-check in three days to see if the rx is keeping it under control.



And now here are my three new ATC's. This short series is called Pastel Pets. The yellow cat is the same cat featured in my Red Door painting you can see in my sidebar. The curled up dog is my Roxy who happened to be laying in that exact position while I was sketching up these ideas. The other dog is a thinner version of my Panda with her one foot in the air asking questions. I hope you like them - and yes, I would love to have collage ATC's in trade also.

You are so talented Patty. I could never create what you are creating with your atc's. I'm so glad you love designing new pictures. My favorite is the kitty...of course!

I want to come to one of your Craft classes. I promise to be a good student and make you proud. I haven't had real fun like that in a long time. I really miss those days when I use to sit in my greeting card office and make new creations until night fall. You are truly blessed and so very talented.

Keep imagining and keep sharing your discoveries with us.

Love for a great day

Hey, I made a comment but it's not here. Oh well. I like the ATC's. I still don't know why you can draw and I can't. We have the same DNA.

I really like the orange/yellow cat with the green eyes. I love cats that color. If that isn't promised to anyone can you put my name on that one?

I'll work on something this weekend and post about it early next week.

Yes, Crochet Lady - it's yours. I'll hold it aside for you.

How fun!! I love them. They are so creatively done, also. Your composition is good and I absolutely love your color combinations. I love do to watercolors. They are the most unforgiving of all painting/drawing mediums, though. I do love a challenge though. It takes great discipline, because I have to start really light. That is so against my "this must be finished today" philosophy. Great job. I hope you keep at it.

These are tremendous Patty. I love animals and you have given them a soft cuddly presentation.
