As part of a Burlesque swap on swap-bot, I made these atcs, still have some more to do.  Love Alberto Vargas!

Owl cards (sent)

I carved Mr Owl out of lino and printed these cards for the Owls swap on swap-bot. I’m wondering if I should make some similar ones for Etsy.

I originally made these for Etsy, but I think I’ll send them to my swapbot partner for the ‘Bird Mad Girls’ swap I hosted.
The canvases are 2″ square.

Bird collages on Canvas

Last week I made these little bird collages on tiny canvases - they’re roughly ATC sized.  Not sure if I should put them on Etsy or not, would anyone want them?

Moustachioed fun!

…aka “Rockin’ the Facial Hair”

Ah, serendipity. I was reading someone’s profile on swap-bot about facial hair and I got to pondering – lots of Frida Kahlo style swaps, but no Dali. And then someone emailed me this cat pic…

So I knew I had to start a swap… “what I’m proposing is to do some creating – the only catch is that your creation has to have a Dali-esque moustache. (And some extra facial hair too if you like.) It’s an international swap. Send 1 partner your best moustaches on everything creation…make a stuffie, paint some art, homemade moustache kit, build a shrine, draw moustaches on family photos, but it’s gotta have that vital factor!” Join the swap here, if you’re so inclined.

I also think at the back of my mind I had these gorgeous birds, created by Anisa. Anisa’s also in on the moustache fun, check out her blog.

Birdy atcs

I started a birdie swap on Swap-bot, and one of the requirements is to send ATCs.  So I’ve made these.  Making ATCs is one of my favourite things to do lately, I’m really enjoying collage, using texture and layering things up.
