Counting
The Richmond Art Gallery is hosting an international mail art swap. The theme is Economy and all entries must be 5" x 5".
If you live in the Vancouver area you can still make the October 1 postmark deadline!

A New Journal
The journal I created this summer feels wrong somehow - the colours, mainly, I guess. It feels like an orange rather than a pink time of year.
Like the last journal, this one is 6 x 6, created from scrap book papers from my stash. The ones I chose have the lovely oranges, yellows, reds and browns we associate with falling leaves.

Organic Process
I'm intrigued by the creative process, and the process for the creation of these Artist Trading Cards I would have to call "organic". By that I mean that they were not planned ahead of time, but evolved as each step was completed.
Group Photo
The ATC's were created for the Vancouver Artist Trading Card Group. One of the September themes is "tangled", and the colour suggestion is brown.
I decided to do something with Zentangles, but did not draw the "string" or outline by hand. Instead, I lay leaf masks on a 9 x 12 piece of watercolour paper and spritzed it with Adirondack Butterscotch Color Wash. Then I cut them into ATC's, and zentangled and coloured them with pencil crayons. I finished them off by adding stamps. I like them because they are all different, due to the placement of the masks.
