Transfer techniques on artist trading cards






The top three artist trading cards were done using the clear packing tape transfer technique. The last two artist trading cards were done using the gesso transfer technique.

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

Altered Note Card box





An altered box. This box once held note cards then I altered it with a vintage eclectic theme.
The letters at the bottom were wooden beads with letters on them, they spell out "play time", I distressed them and added wires to them with small paper hearts...can't see them very well in the photo. Too many other details to speak of, but I sure did enjoy making it.

Needle felted Critters



These are some needle felted wool babies I made years ago. The teddy bear is named Plum-Pea. The Dachshund was made for a friend in the Netherlands. We traded craft for craft.

ATCs for Monday's Mail aka Monday ArtDay ATC




These are ATCs I made for Monday's Mail theme swap. Each monday is a new theme. One theme was Garden so I made the ATC In my Garden (top). The next theme was Greeting Card I made Hello, it has the squirrel (middle). The last theme was fairy tale which I made Princess and the Pea (bottom).
