So recently my local arts group, EVA, had a tutorial on ATCs. ATCs are artist trading cards for anyone who may not know. I have made two sets so far and really like the look of them. I enjoy making them, as well. We did a Rockabilly theme last month. I am not all that into Rockabilly so I did a Sailor Jerry tattoo series. We also did butterflies in June. I would like to keep working on these and maybe exchange with people in other countries. Not sure how to go about doing that, but eventually I will search the web and see if I can find international exchanges.
My husband and I got a potter's wheel while we were in Nebraska. I have always had my jewelry and he has music, so now we have found a common hobby. He took classes in college and I have always liked the idea of throwing pots. I had a toy potter's wheel when I was in third grade. You could make real pots out of clay, but it was definitely a kiddie version. I was telling my husband about it and then found a photo of me with the wheel last night. Too funny!
I had never heard of ATCs, sounds like a great idea! I love the ones you've posted, especially the Sailor Jerry series - I'm sure if you posted in the ETC or promotions forums on Etsy loads of other artists would like to exchange cards with you. How big are they?
ReplyDeleteThey are 2.5" X 3.5". The same size as sports trading cards and a deck of playing cards. They are a lot of fun to make. We will see if others in my local group start making more of them. If not, perhaps I will check etc on etsy. Thanks for the sugestion.
