I had fun coming up with the ideas for these collages...cutting bits-n-pieces of different kinds of papers, drawing my own images, coloring, gluing...so relaxing :)

Artist trading cards

They are from top to bottom: The group of four are for a private trade. Titled (L to R) Flutter, Dear Friends, Three (doodle), Heart (doodle). Also for private trades on ATCsForAll are Kitty-kitty, Heartly in Heartsville, and Fly with A Star.

My scanner always washes the colors out...they are much more bolder in color in person.

I call these Whirly Twirlys. I came up with them while just doodling on some scratch paper.

Another Whimsy character

This is my 2nd whimsy character I have made. I did make number three for my friend, but forgot to take a picture of it. These are really fun to make. I do enjoy needle felting. Wish I had more time to do more of it.

I took the picture before I had time to clean up my work table :)

Needle Felted Whimsy

This is a little needle felted figure I made using an idea I got from Art Doll Magazine. I needle felted the little guy and added a paper checkered hat, that I also made. I sewed an australian crystal bead on it's lil' heart belly. The head is jointed. The legs are wire that I glued into the wood block and added some silver glitter to finish it. I also painted and glued pieces of vintage sheet music to the block. I really had fun making it!
