Color and Art and Crows?

Here are my most recent, most colorful and maybe my best yet ATCs. I can say "best" because I am an ATC virgin and have done so few, that whatever comes next could be my best because I never really know what I am doing. I just do "it" and see what happens. I especially like the Twyla Tharp quote I used on one, "Art is the only way to run away from home without actually leaving." Also, love my crow domestic triangle called "Bad Crow Karma," which I made from parts of my "Peaches and Cream" crow collage (below and on ebay). The background is supposed to be crackled and is from my winter watercolor ATC backgrounds. Some of the other backgrounds you see here are also handpainted by me. Love bright colors!!

Art to Go; Art to Share

Here's a neat image from Gail Schmidt at Shabby Cottage Studio http://shabbycottagestudio.blogspot.com/. She shares a vintage image every Friday on her blog. Check out her Etsy store,too! http://www.etsy.com/. That's where I found her great and colorful Halloween backgrounds in fiery reds and oranges for my Halloween ATCs.

Watercolor Backgrounds for ATC ACEO Dare

Here are some water color back grounds I created in response to the ebay ATC ACEO Enthusiasts' Group Dare #100: Interpret "Star Chamber." I so wanted to create a rock star outhouse or some private quarters of Mick Jagger, but I was limited to 2.5 x 3.5 inches. So, these backgrounds are kind of the easy way out. I did four seasons in watercolor on watercolor paper and four seasons on glossy paper.

I also learned a Star Chamber was a secret 10th century English court with stars painted on the ceiling (allegedly).

Anyway, they are listed in case any eager bidders are reading along...
