A while ago, I was playing around with bleach stamping for my technique class. It was so much fun and I made so many samples, I decided to put them together into a book. I stamped both sides of a piece of cardstock and added several sheets Painter’s masking paper to make each signature. The book has 10 signatures and I used a piano hinge to put them all together.

My mom recently hosted an ATC swap on the Yahoo group – ArtistTradingCards. The theme was “Secret Life of Bees” and I made a bunch of digital cards for the swap. I figured that since I didn’t have much time to work on them and I needed to make a bunch, I’d do a few digital cards and print out several copies. This theory didn’t really work in practice though because I got so excited by the cards that I ended up spending a lot more time on them than I originally planned. The digital stuff was a blast and I’ll definitely be doing more of this type of art. Here are the cards i made for this swap.

I’m participating in a collaborative project through LiveJournal. We are making our own Tarot Card deck. Every artist picked three words and made 6″x8″ pieces to illustrate each word. We also are writing short descriptions about how to interpret our word when someone picks it from the deck. The host for the project is scanning every piece (about 60) and printing half size copies for everyone. We will get a full deck of cards, a booklet with all the descriptions and three other originals back for our three. It is an amazing project and the artist involved are fabulous.
Here are my three cards…
