Instant Art!

Adrienne has us going on an "Instant Art" swap--sending bits and pieces to out partners so they can use them when they need to make art in a hurry. :)

We each put together five decorated slide mounts, 5 tags, 5 ATC backgrounds, 5 "little beauties" (1.5 x 2 inch little artlings) and some printed images. Here are most of my components, just need to print out some images.

Complementary Colors ATC Swap

These are going out to Annie in the U.K. I love comp colors, especially tertiary colors. Here I used red orange and blue green in oil pastels, a recent present.

Oil pastels are awesome. They go on so smooth and dense, and you can scrape them off to be as grungy as you want--my favorite part. The colors are highly saturated too.

The theme developed as I went: "time & tide."

Cheers Annie.

Art Doll ATC

Adrienne G. in Wales gets my first creation of 2008. I finished this several days ago but am just getting a chance to upload now.

This was for an "Art Doll ATC" swap Adrienne organized on CC Swaps. His head and legs fold up so that he is standard ATC size. I call him "St. Festivus," and he's ready to rock n' roll.

My husband thinks this guy looks like him, and he's not far off, LOL!
