Sketch Book Swap 2

This is my second piece for the sketch book swap on M.A.D. ATC. I call her Ellyphant the elephant. Added a little butterfly friend for her. This is for Bearuh, hope she likes it :). I used color pencils.

Sketch Book Swap 1

I am in a sketch book swap in the Monday ArtDay ATC Ning Group. There are thirteen players and we can do what we like in each of the sketch books. I received my first sketch book of the group and did a color pencil and ink drawing for Genxster. She likes B & W movie stars and film noir so I tried to do something she may like. This is my first humble attempt at drawing and a B&W movie star (Marlene Dietrich) hope I did it justice :) By the way, Genxster does such an AMAZING job with the movie stars she draws! Waiting for my next sketch book!!!!! :)

Dinosuar Artist Trading Cards

These are some dinosaur artist trading cards I made for a swap on a Yahoo group. I used ink, acrylic and watercolor. This is the first time I went out of my comfort zone to draw and paint something I normally would not have wanted to or felt comfortable doing. I am happy with the results.

Vintage Clown

Vintage Clown artist trading card made using color pencils.

Circus Boy artist trading card

This is one of my more recent artist trading cards. It is a collage using the vaseline (petroleum jelly) resist technique and acrylic paints. I call it "Circus Boy".

More Paper Dolls

Yes, I have made another two paper dolls :) These were made for a private ATC swap. I trade with this particular person frequent. She does some wonderful origami ATCs! The names of these paper dolls are Vintage Star and Lil' Babushka. Lil' Babushka is a collage doll that I make on an artist trading card by cutting out a dress shape, a head wrap and then drawing in the legs, arms and face, but here I actually made her into an ATC size paper doll. Both paper dolls have moveable arms, legs, and heads.

Marie Antoinette Paper Dolls

These are Marie Antoinette Paper Dolls ATCs that I made for a 3/2 swap on artisttradingcards yahoo group. Bambi Doe is hosting this swap and has really motivated me to try making some M.A. art paper dolls. I haven't made art paper dolls in awhile something I really enjoy making...so I really enjoyed making these.
I made my own pattern/template, and used all kinds of papers and embellishments.
