A relative of my mother-in-law is hosting an ATC swap that is right up my alley.

I love painting!

The swap is 3 for 3. Not being able to settle on watercolors or acrylics, I did a set of each.


Remember a while back I mentioned some of my challenge pieces were chosen for publication?   Well…my complementary issue of Somerset Memories Spring 2010 has arrived!

I couldn’t be more thrilled!!

Trust me…I was excited when I got the email saying they had chosen a few pieces back then but I can’t even tell you how much more wonderful it is to open the magazine and see your own work on the page.

I’ll be sharing all seven pieces I submitted as soon as I get the package back. The pictures I took before sending them off were really poorly lit and kind of fuzzy. Thank goodness Somerset takes their own beautiful photos!

 

Until I had one of each set side by side I hadn’t realized how small an inchie really is!

ATC: 2.5 x 3.5

Inchie: 1 inch square

This is my second inchie ever. I don’t really care for the size but keep trying.


I made a couple of quick ATC’s yesterday.  The sewn one was a forgotten work-in-progress. It had fallen behind some stuff on my ever shrinking workspace. Time to clean and organize again I fear.

I also did some more on my painting.  I should have stopped before adding all the green. Of course, I didn’t take a picture at the previous stage.

I may scrap the whole thing and gesso over it.  Or maybe some molding paste. For now it will sit off to the side waiting for me to decide

If you love vintage items…the giveaway is for you.  
Linda has such a beautiful blog..go on over and check it out.

So far we’ve planted:

I plan on starting some more seeds but ran out of little recycled containers and my helper ran out of patience. :)

All of these seeds are ones I’ve collected from last years plants. It should be interesting to see what actually germinates.
