Have to say, I have been having a great time making these!
This is my latest lot of ATCs. And there are a whole load more in the process.
Yes, they take a lot of work but I really like the original idea of them being miniatures of your art work. As my artwork is crochet and silk painting, that is what I do.
I could probably make 10 times as many if I did them with paper and glue - but that just isn't me.
Anyway, as I was doing these I came up with another idea. What about bigger versions that I could maybe sell?
After thinking about this some more and then chatting to the lady in the flower shop who displays some of my work, I came up with this.
It is 8x8 quilted scrapbooking layout and made to fit a 5x3½ photo. It isn't finished yet, I need some pink baby buttons and I haven't beaded it yet.
Yes, its pink!
Its very pink!!!!!!
But I didn't have any pale blue fabric to make a boy one and I had a whole pile of pink stuff made for the "Scrapping for Babies".
Besides, I am not planning on keeping it and there are plenty of baby girls around.
However, I am quite pleased with the result so far.
And I have another pile in all different colours to get done yet!
Stunning pieces of Art wish I was that talented.
